- 4. FACTS ABOUT LEADER No one is born as a leader. However they are all around us. In the community, at work, at school. Leaders are everywhere. They are the heads of families, coaches of teams, business leaders, mentors, organizational decision-makers. We admire these leaders. They influence and inspire us to walk in their footsteps. And, so, we should commit our self to become one. Finally, it isn’t just what leaders know that enabled them to lead. They had a voice. They could tell their story. They could listen and answer. They didn’t just accomplish, they communicated. So let’s find our voice. Learn to process ideas in the midst of discussion. Train our self to listen attentively. Learn to give feedback – and accept it. Let’s organize, plan, deliver and follow up. We need a place where all the ingredients were there, and someone would guide us along the way. We have found that place. We have found a community of learners and the path to leadership. We are the leader – and we can make it happen.

Editor's Notes
- #2 Welcome to the Toastmasters refreshed brand! Toastmasters International unveiled a new logo, tagline and positioning on Wednesday, August 17, 2011; the first day of International Convention. The rebrand is a significant step forward in achieving the mission of Toastmasters International. By creating a consistent identity across the globe, we ignite efforts to build membership and increase recognition of the organization. This consistency will inform prospective members, regardless of location, that Toastmasters is the leading organization dedicated to helping them become the speakers and leaders they want to be. While this is not a radical change, the rebrand will take a concerted effort to make the transition across all districts and clubs. In this presentation I’m going to share with you: An overview of branding. The reasons why a rebrand was necessary.
