Welcome!

Whether you've come here looking for a specific resource, or if you've just stumbled onto this section of my website by accident, you are most heartily welcome.

I'm not big on proselytizing, but membership and involvement in Toastmasters is absolutely the single best gift I've ever given myself.

If you're not a Toastmaster, and you'd like more information on what the organization is all about, click here.

If you're curious about what brought me to Toastmasters - and where that path has taken me, both personally and professionally - click here.

And if you've got any questions, don't hesitate to contact me!

What's New?

21 August 2007 I posted three fun new advertising fliers today: "Got Words?", "Public Speaking Causes Indigestion", and "Afraid to Speak Up?"  They're working really well for my home club, and I hope you'll find them useful, too.

I also added an index of all the blog postings I did while at the International Convention.  Apparently I had quite a bit to say while I was gone!

18 July 2007 I've set up a new page for PowerPoint Resources, and posted the new WHQ-branded template I've assembled.  More will be added to this page over time.  You can find it linked off both the Educational and Marketing resource pages.
2 July 2007 At Saturday's Kickoff TLI for District 50, during the first session of VP-Education training, I offered to post a set of resources for use by my fellow VP-Eds.  This update is now complete and online under the Educational Resources tab.  Click here to access that page directly.

Big thanks to Trudy Moreno-Cruz of Word Wranglers for sharing their fabulous schedule spreadsheet!  If you've got a template, resource, or idea to share, email me and I'll be delighted to post it for everyone's use.

24 June 2007 By request, I have posted materials on the "Social Styles for District Officers" class I facilitated at yesterday's Area Governor training.  The materials can be found here.

I also started building up the Educational Resources section of my website.  It is still very much under construction, and more will be added in the coming weeks, but it's a good start.

14 June 2007 After years of just talking about it, I've finally posted the Toastmasters section of my website!  Right now, it's a little bare, but check back periodically as I add more stuff.

For now, you'll definitely want to check out the Marketing Resources, where I've posted the start of my advertising flier library.
