ToastEd chartered in December 9, is already Presidents Distinguished. It’s a dynamic club with diverse members who come together as a tight knit team making this club successful. I had the opportunity to visit this club and speak. It was an honour to speak to a group of highly motivated Toastmasters. The club formed during the pandemic and currently had 28 members. Kudos to the vision and creativity of the founder Deepti Potnis.

I would thoroughly recommend anyone looking for a focus on Education to join ToastEd.
I had a thoroughly enjoyable visit to Club ToastEd and was honoured to be asked to deliver a session as part of their Youth Leadership Programme. It was fabulous to see that not only were the students all keen and willing to learn but that the session leaders also showed such passion and commitment toward ensuring students got as much as they possibly could from this programme. Having attended this club earlier in the year to deliver a keynote talk, Club ToastEd is fast-becoming one of my favourite clubs to visit. Club leaders and members are always so kind, welcoming and happy to fully participate in the sessions. I can’t wait to return and would be delighted to deliver further keynotes, workshops or educational sessions. :)
Enjoyed participating in the ToastEd Youth Leadership Program in India. Am continually amazed at the significant scope of ToastEd DTM projects. The leadership team at ToastEd thinks big! Am pleased to be a member of such a progressive Toastmasters club.

It was indeed a pleasure and an honour to speak to students of the Royal Park School in Salem, India, around 75 of them, as part of a Youth Leadership Program, organised by Club Toasted, Qatar, and Westhills Toastmasters, Calgary, with toastmasters from around the world chipping in.. a global effort indeed.. that's what Club Toasted is all about.. a bunch of professional speakers and trainers who have come together to form an online Toastmasters Club, where experts from all over the world meet and exchange ideas on how to speak and train, through the toastmasters program. I salute those behind this endeavor. My best wishes to all participants on the YLP, who displayed great promise of becoming good speakers and effective communicators, catch them young, as the saying goes, and bring out the best in them, there could not be a better program than the YLP to do that. Kudos to Toastmasters of Club Toasted behind this effort.. great job by Coordinator TM Marcus Udokang, TM Deepti Potnis, DTM Rinku Saha Mallik, TM Vijaylata Valluri and others whose names I may have missed.

I've had the privilege of being invited to Club ToastEd a couple of times as an educator. The experience was fabulous. I experienced the collective efforts of a very committed team, so much dedication love and discipline. I would love to share here anyday because of the wonderful people that make up Club ToastEd. Wishing you nothing but the very best.

What is better than one visit to the ClubToastEd Youth Leadership Program? Answer - two visits! I have been the Youth Leadership Encourager in District 91 for some years now and I was delighted to accept the invitation from Toastmaster Marcus to share some golden nuggets on Impromptu Speaking , Voice & Vocabulary with the young people online who are based in India and Qatar. I can tell that the young people of the ClubToastEd YLP are keen to learn . They arrive with enthusiasm for their meeting and the Toastmasters team make the meeting environment welcoming. I believe this is your club's very first YLP. I hope that there will be many more because now more than ever our young people need to develop their verbal and critical thinking skills. There are so many challenges facing them and above all they need to grow in confidence. Confidence building is central to the Youth Leadership Program. Congratulations to all on this YLP as you head towards your final session celebration!
