Welcome to my blog site, Speech Planning! This is a blog about planning effective speeches, with the occasional mention of other forms of communication and leadership, all shared from personal experience.
I am GT Bulmer, known by some as Gerry T. I am an active member of Athabasca Landing Toastmasters, a chartered club of Toastmasters International. I have been a club member for more than 26 years and have attained Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) status. The path to achieving this designation included planning and presenting countless speeches and other types of presentations over the years, as well as a variety of leadership tasks and projects. I am still learning. Members of a Toastmasters club are on a perpetual journey of learning.
Writing is another interest of mine. I enjoy sharing information, insight and personal experiences through my writing. That is what lead me to the introduction of this speech planning blog site! It is my intent to post informative articles here that inform, educate, encourage and, perhaps, inspire readers to consider sharing their stories and expertise through verbal communication.
Everybody has a story to tell, but sometimes they just need a little coaching, a little encouragement, maybe a little push to get started. I am hoping that this Speech Planning blog site will be the catalyst that prompts YOU to take some form of action to either develop or improve your public speaking abilities. If you step up to the challenge, your life will be enriched and others around you will benefit from the information that you share. Everybody benefits.
