Leadership

✨ New Horizons Ahead and last night proved exactly that.
At SDTM7, we explored pivotal moments those transformative turning points that push us past what we’ve known and into who we’re becoming. 🌅

A special moment last night: a warm welcome to Austin Eric on his Ice Breaker speech, every great journey starts with that first brave step. 👏

Big shoutout to our winners of the night:
🏆 Best Speaker: AJ Scott
🎯 Best Evaluator: Nate
🎤 Best Table Topics: Terry
Every meeting, every word, every brave step forward that’s what we’re about. 💙

The algorithm ran. The results are in. 🧠⚡
Last night at San Diego Toastmasters 7, we ran three back-to-back Table Topics sessions no scripts, no prep, just pure on-the-spot thinking. Three Topicsmasters. Three rounds. One unforgettable night of improvisation.
And the crowd has spoken. 🏆
🥇 AJ
🥇 Salam
🥇 Meghan
Three sessions. Three winners. Zero misaligned answers. ✨
Huge shoutout to our Topicsmasters Danny Quesada, Kris Snyder, and Soph Pashtunyar for running such an engaging, high-energy evening and you made every speaker feel like the main character. 👏
If you’ve ever wanted to sharpen your impromptu speaking, think faster on your feet, or just be around people who genuinely cheer you on this is your sign. 📍 We meet every Thursday at 6:30 PM.
Come as you are. Leave a better speaker. 🎙️

No speeches. Just pure improv. 🎙️⚡

This Thursday we’re going full Table Topics Only, three Topicsmasters, three 23-minute rounds, and three chances to win Best Table Topic. Think fast, speak sharp, and try not to go misaligned along the way.
