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.

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. The results of the research conducted to identify Toastmasters’ in the market place and in the minds of members and prospective members. The Toastmasters brand position and visual system. Club’s role in the brand refresh.
Out of proactive research with our membership and in the marketplace a pattern emerged. Leadership development was one of the organization’s best-kept secrets, so we began by identifying some of the common traits of some of the world's most renown leaders.
Take a look at these leaders. You know who they are – and it is clear to us that these individuals are leaders. It also clear to us that these people are great communicators .
Read slide.
So now that we have seen the new look of Toastmasters – what is a club’s role in the Toastmasters brand refresh?
As a fellow member of a club we’ll need to apply the new brand through the materials in our meetings – the brand portal will give us access to a lot of these materials including the new agenda. We’ll also need to update our website. We’ll want to reinforce the new brand through consistent application in our club’s messaging and visual communications. By following the District and Club Brand manual we’ll be able to determine whether are communications are on-brand. Also something we’d love to hear is your leadership story. Take time to think about how Toastmasters has helped you and please share it with the club!
