CIMA Toastmasters’ Quiz 2012
Colombo, 26th October, 2012 - SLT Toastmasters Club
won the first place at the CIMA Toastmasters’ Quiz 2012 held at Cinnamon
Lakeside recently, beating 34 Toastmasters clubs from around the Island. Serendib
Toastmasters club and Colombo Toastmasters club were placed second and third
respectively.
-->
The CIMA Toastmasters’ Quiz was organized by the CIMA
Toastmasters club for the second consecutive year, and is as an attempt to
bring together toastmasters from around the country to foster learning, team
spirit as well as fellowship. The quiz tests the participants’ knowledge on
news and current affairs, sports, history and arts, entertainment, general
knowledge and toastmastering skills.
SLT Toastmasters were represented at the Quiz by Prasad Bandara,
Yasith Ganearachchi, Lakmali Hathurusinghe, Ishan Kumaranayake, Keerthi
Sumanadasa and Mahesh Jayaratne.
“I am very proud of the team that participated at the CIMA
Toastmasters Quiz, they have kept the SLT flag flying high. At SLT we believe
in providing learning opportunities to our team members, this is one of the
main reason we encourage our team to participate in self-development programmes
such as the Toastmasters, where members learn-by-doing, which hones in the
speaking and leadership skills,” said Greg Young – Chief Executive Officer,
SLT.
There is no instructor in a Toastmasters meeting. Instead,
members evaluate one another’s presentations. This feedback process is a key
part of the program’s success.
SLT Toastmasters Club is a part of Toastmasters International -
recognized as the leading organization dedicated to communication and
leadership skill development. Through its worldwide network of clubs, each week
Toastmasters helps more than a quarter million men and women of every
ethnicity, education level and profession build their competence in
communication so they can gain the confidence to lead others.
By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams
and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders
emerge. They learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and
lead. They give feedback - and accept it. They find their path to leadership.
Chartered in 2008, SLT Toastmasters provides a unique opportunity
for all SLT Group employees to reap the benefits from Toastmasters
International educational programs and leadership activities. SLT Toastmasters club meets every first,
