Here’s Lookin’ at You, Kid Daymon Worldwide has officially chartered an inhouse Toastmaster club in the Stamford DRC, thanks to the efforts of one Thierno Barry of the BDT. Toastmasters is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to improve the communication and leadership skills of its members. Daymon Toastmasters meet weekly and the members take turns serving in various roles, such as meeting leader, speech maker, grammarian, or evaluators. “Although I am a licensed amateur radio operator (HAM call sign W2RIK), I am usually not short on words when I’m behind a microphone, that is. Speaking in front of a room filled with people, however, is another story,” says Rik Line, IT Manager. “Daymon Toastmasters has provided me with the tools and skills to present topics off the cuff with bold confidence so that words just flow out naturally.” Today, 50% of fortune 500 companies have an in-house Toastmasters club, including some Daymon customers such as Save Mart, HEB and Fred Meyer.
