KEYNOTE ADDRESS

Laura Jarnat, DTM, PDG Professional Trainer, Speaker, Consultant

Brains, Heart, and Courage: Putting Transformational Leadership to Work

We all know the new Toastmaster theme “Where Leaders Are Made.” Today’s keynote presentation will focus on how leaders are made. District One has invited its own Laura Jarnat, DTM, PDG, to help us transition from speaker to leader. Drawing on her 18 years as a communication and management trainer and tapping into the classic themes of The Wizard of Oz, Laura will show us how to identify and apply the principles of true leadership. You will discover your own leadership style and then learn the secrets of the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion in Laura’s presentation, “Brains, Heart,
and Courage: Putting Transformational Leadership to Work.”

How to be a Wild and Wonderful Speaker!

Do you have a compelling reason to serve as a Transformational Leader?  You may speak and lead with sincerity and conviction, but unless your message is structured in the proper chronological and sequential order, you won’t communicate effectively to the people you care about most.  This content-rich and inspiring workshop will teach you how to structure and deliver all your presentations in a clear, concise and convincing manner to have maximum impact on any audience you want to reach.

Afternoon Session 2

Craig Copeland CEO and Author
Be the Leader Others Want to Follow

What can you do starting today to begin changing from who you are into becoming the leader you were meant to be?  Craig Copeland is the author of the inspirational success book Finish What You Start and will take you on a journey to unlocking the true leader within you. His mission is to help people achieve their maximum personal and professional potential by training them how to clearly focus on meaningful goals – and then to finish what they start with success!  In this dynamic interactive workshop you will discover how to:
  • Eliminate limiting beliefs and fears holding you back
  • Master the tools top successful people use
  • Use the power of a group to create a stronger, more confident self-image
