Opening Address by Club President:

Club President Pravin began his opening address by sharing the reasons why should we join Toastmasters. He said, I have noted few key leadership traits, which Toastmasters develops in people. I believe the list can be useful to many who are in the organization but not able to lose themselves in the process and more importantly many others who never heard about Toastmasters or heard but could not convince on 'why should they join Toastmasters'.

The 5 important leadership traits, which we can improve as a Toastmasters are 5C’s (Courage, Communication, Confidence, Constructive Feedback & Collaboration). Pravin tried to inspire the guests to join this world-class organization.
