Improve Your Communication and Leadership Skills by Joining Toastmasters

I highly encourage you to improve your communication and leadership skills by joining Toastmasters. Recently, I celebrated my 25th anniversary of joining Toastmasters, and I’m so grateful for all I’ve learned since then. I joined my first club to help me improve my abilities as a salesperson, as I’d never been in that field before. Not only did I become a better speaker, my listening and feedback skills improved as well. Why am I bringing up Toastmasters in this blog post? This week I led a panel presentation on Toastmasters’ educational platform at one of my Toastmasters clubs. Plus, a [...]

My co-facilitator, Rashelle Shone, and I are members of the 2022 class of Leadership Jefferson County.   Successful Living Program Each year, the members of this leadership class select a community service project, and our class selected this program.

Using LinkedIn to Grow Your Volunteer Membership Organization

Have you thought about using LinkedIn to grow your volunteer membership organization? Recently, I was honored to share a presentation on this topic for members of the Volunteer Voyageurs Passport Rotary Club. Members of this club live in southern Alabama and attend meetings virtually through Zoom. They really appreciated getting these tips and were excited to start applying them. Rotary created passport clubs for people who want to be part of Rotary, yet are unable to attend in-person meetings.

Changes to Your LinkedIn Profile

Have you noticed the changes to your LinkedIn profile? These changes aren’t dramatic, so you might not have noticed them. Since Linkedin doesn’t roll out these changes to everyone at the same time, your profile might not show them yet. The changes have two parts to them. One part involves the process for adding a section to your profile. The other part involves the overall format of your profile.   Adding a Section to Your Profile To add a section to your profile, click on the “Add profile section” button. This button is toward the top of your profile and [...]
