Posted on May 5, 2016 by libertyvillagetm

“I want to come with you to Alderaan… and become a Jedi like my father!”

In his Star Wars Day-themed introduction, Toastmaster Mark inspired us to be like Luke: follow your dreams and don’t let anyone get in your way. Lakshman followed with a practical method for achieving those dreams — on time and on schedule — while Arash’s tips on approaching strangers will help us achieve them in the real world. Finally, our guest speaker Sean shared three words of wisdom from his own Obi-wan: his mother.

ACTION!!! — April 20 Meeting Recap

Posted on April 21, 2016 by libertyvillagetm

It was a night full of action….

Our Toastmaster John began by sharing his terrifying (and liberating) first experience acting in front of an audience on stage. Wes followed with his pitch for paying a premium for better products and experiences (even a luxury hotel suite). Finally, everyone got in on the action in John’s ACTION!!! workshop, acting out scenes from a variety of scripts.

Congrats to our guest Stanley, who won a super-power-themed Table Topics with his tale of travelling through time. Ready… ACTION!
