The
Sykes Group Shares Success Secrets on How to Prepare Yourself for Future
Opportunities in Toastmasters International Magazine
Virginia Beach, VA,
October 4, 2006—Ed
Sykes was published in the September issue of the communication and
leadership publication, Toastmaster, concerning how Joy Fisher-Sykes’
involvement in Toastmasters helped her successfully embrace an opportunity.
The title of the article is “Prepared for Tomorrow’s Opportunity.”
Toastmasters International is the leading communication and
leadership organization in the world, with over 200,000 members. In the
article, Ed discusses how the Toastmasters development program helped Joy be
prepared for an opportunity to film a television commercial and how
Toastmasters program can help the publication readers fulfill their goals.
By going through the Toastmasters program, Joy was able to think on her feet
and become an excellent spokesperson for a real estate company
“Nobody can foresee what your opportunity will
be, when it will come, or what form it will assume, but it will come,”
writes Ed Sykes. “Like the old saying goes, ‘Preparation plus opportunity
equals success.’ Toastmasters’ table topics prepared Joy for the initial
telephone interview and on-the-spot script changes. Preparing and giving
Toastmaster speeches, especially with vocal variety and gestures, enhanced her
confidence and presentation skill. Taking on leadership roles at the club and
district levels prepared Joy to ‘own her space’ when interacting with high-level
people in diverse situations,” writes Ed in the article.
