Innisfil Toastmasters - "Life is a Bowl of Cherries"

Innisfil Toastmasters Presents: “Life is a Bowl of Cherries” Thursday, July 17thDoors open at 7:00 PMMeeting begins promptly at 7:30 PMGuests Always Welcome!

Hybrid meeting – Zoom link is: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87443133719
Join us for a vibrant evening of stories that celebrate the sweet and the tart moments of life. Just like a bowl of cherries, life serves us laughter, lessons, surprises—and the occasional pit! At this meeting, we embrace it all.
Celebrate the ups and downs of life with storytelling!Whether humorous, heartfelt, or eye-opening, these stories offer the kind of perspective that connects us. This evening will be filled with speeches and impromptu reflections that show how vulnerability and humour go hand in hand with growth.
A member once shared a story about tripping on stage during a school performance—and the standing ovation that followed when she got up, smiled, and kept going. That story, though embarrassing in the moment, became her favourite tale to tell. Why? Because it reminded her (and us) that bouncing back is often more powerful than being perfect.
Whether you’re here to speak, to listen, or to cheer someone on, there’s a seat for you.Come experience the power of storytelling, and maybe even share a cherry-picked moment of your own.

Innisfil Toastmasters - Choosing the Right Words

Originally, she said, “I walked through the storm,” but after reworking it, she delivered, “I battled winds that clawed at my coat and rain that stung like needles.” That one shift brought her audience to the edge of their seats—and taught her that the right words don’t just inform, they evoke.
Whether you’re a first-time guest or a seasoned speaker, you’ll walk away from this meeting with tools you can use in every conversation, presentation, and pitch.
Speak with purpose. Listen with curiosity. Grow with us.
