A motivating, enlightening & Inspiring event. Thanks to our Division H Director for arranging such a fantastic event. Looking forward to more such event.
Many many thanks to Div H and ISC AD in organizing the memorable event. TM Loyola did great job. Lot of take away message from Champion Manoj Vasudevan interview. Overall very informative and very interesting evening.
They give the ability speak on a variety of subjects, and to be confident when speaking to large groups.It is a great organization and I highly recommend it to all men and women.
A Memorable night with the Champion of Public Speaking. Truly appreciate the efforts of the Division H team who ensured that the event was successful
A small gathering but a great event. World Champion of public speaking was right in front of us interacting with audience and explaining his steps towards success. I was in two minds initially whether to attend or not, due to wife's insistence, decided to accompany her but had I missed, it would have been a great loss for me. Attending a Toastmasters' program is always educative and inspirational but this program was something more. The 7 minutes Championship speech of Manoj, which they reproduced, was not only an excellent delivery of speech but also it was a class on “art of co-living” for all the married people. “Pull Less, Bend More” can be an university subject, such a deep and thought provoking subject. Thank you Abu Dhabi Toastmasters and all its office bearers, especially Division H Director Mr. Althaf M.S, for this rare occasion.
It sure was a proud moment for Abu Dhabi to personally meet and be motivated by the World Champion of Public Speaking. Manoj Vasudevan. The event sure seems to have been interesting and much awaited going by the the Jam packed hall.
What an honour to have met the "World Champion of Public Speaking Manoj Vasudevan".
I was privileged to get a photo taken with him and to do the Thanks to the Champ and all the amazing people attending this exciting event.
I'm a proud Toastmaster and meeting Manoj in the flesh was an amazing experience.
Public speaking can be daunting for some. But like any skill, it can be perfected with time.
Vasudevan says that as a messenger, you are performing a service for your audience rather than speaking for your own validation. When you have a presentation to give, don't rush to craft it instead first, figure out the fundamentals of the presentation and your goal. Vasudevan says you must "emotionally connect with your listeners and present information in a way that resonates with their needs, goals and agendas."
This was a night to remember.
Do you want to become a confident public speaker and strong leader? If so, Toastmasters is the place for you. You’ll find a supportive learn-by-doing environment that allows you to achieve your goals at your own pace.

Hats off to our dynamic Div H Director Althaf Ahmed, for bringing Manoj Vasudevan to Abu Dhabi. It was a memorable event.
