Sunny Lalli, President
Why did I join Spa Speakers? For transcendence and preparation for a tilt at Westminster. My Favourite speech or favour speaker? Roger that.
Rob Bonsmann, Vice President
Professionally, I became a bit of an expert in my field and was asked to give presentations and talks at conferences. That really took me out of my comfort zone! After a lot of searching I found Spa Speakers. I wish I had joined years before then as it was one of the best thing I have ever done! My favourite speaker is the great late Martin Luther King. He was so inspirational!
Robert Jebakumar, Secretary
I joined Spa Speakers to become more confident public speaker but have also found that in attending our meetings I have become a better listener and improved my leadership skills.
Adam Jackson, Treasurer
I joined Spa Speakers to overcome my nerves when speaking to large groups of people. Toastmasters has helped me so much in this, the next time I'm asked to speak at a wedding I will be able to enjoy myself rather than dreading it for weeks!
Alison Fox, Membership (VPM)
As someone who has worked with and served the public for 30 years in the NHS I am used to conversing with individuals and small groups. When it came to speaking in front of larger groups, nerves definitely got the better of me! I became a Civil Celebrant alongside being a nurse. Confident public speaking is a key skill of being a Celebrant, so joining Spa Speakers was really important to me.
My confidence has improved as a result of being involved with Toastmasters, and Spa Speakers really is a friendly club! We are a really encouraging and supportive club, which I love.
It is an honour to be Vice President for Membership this year, as the club is really focused on member support, and promoting confidence.
Andy Dixon, Sergent At Arms
Imagine a bird inside a glass coffin. That was me for most of my life. An invisible barrier prevented me listening, speaking, and sharing genuinely with those around me. Toastmasters helps me smash through that glass coffin, speak more freely and share my views in a more influential way.
Guillaume Bonodot, Public Relation (VPPR)
In my career, I have been mostly involved in Marketing, Sales and strategy activities. As Marketing Offer Manager, I need to communicate, train my team and our customers to our solutions which involve a lot of public speeches. Hence why I have decided to join Spaspeakers!
