WHERE LEADERS ARE MADE Toastmasters International Where Leaders Are Made - will be the tagline moving forward. Different from a theme, this is an enduring message of who we are today. It will not change from year to year. “In order to accomplish our mission, Toastmasters members, clubs and districts must provide one single, consistent message that demonstrates what Toastmasters is and what we offer the world.” – Toastmasters International President Michael Notaro, DTM For many years, Toastmasters has been synonymous with public speaking, However the powerful combination of strengthening one’s competence in communication and building leadership skills through participation in Toastmasters is what differentiates Toastmasters International from other skill-building programs. The new official tagline, “Where Leaders Are Made,” reflects this synergy between communication and leadership. Toastmasters training helps members build their competence in communication so they can gain the confidence to speak effectively and lead others. It is important that we all understand what this tagline means. It is not intended to summarize the entire member experience; rather, it represents what differentiates Toastmasters. It tells members and potential members what makes Toastmasters different from any other option they could choose to grow their communication and leadership skills. By consistently implementing this tagline along with the supporting brand positioning messages and imagery, you convey to the world that Toastmasters owns that place where members join and gain confidence in public speaking and communication. That confidence often gives them the strength to lead. Regardless of whether a Toastmaster has chosen to become a leader or not, but the mere fact that they are strong, clear and confident communicators, they are often naturally sought out as mentors, advisors and leaders.

TOASTMASTERS INTERNATIONAL Where Leaders are Made I wasn’t born a leader. They were all around me though. In the community, at work, at school. Leaders were everywhere. They were the heads of families, coaches of teams, business leaders, mentors, organizational decision-makers.   I admired these leaders. They influenced who I was and who I was becoming because I aspired to walk in their footsteps. And, so, I committed myself to becoming one. Finally, it came to me. It wasn’t just what leaders knew 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 I set out to find my voice. Learn to process ideas in the midst of discussion. Train myself to listen attentively. Learn to give feedback – and accept it. I needed to organize, plan, deliver and follow up. I needed a place where all the ingredients were there, and someone would guide me along the way. I found that place. I found a community of learners and the path to leadership. I am a leader – and I was made.
