From Monica Liljeroth
A new Toastmasters club is being launched in partnership with Deloitte. It will offer ACCA members in particular and also other finance professionals the opportunity to improve their communication and leadership skills - following a proven successful path.
ACCA Central London is one of the largest networks in the UK serving members both in and around London. The motto for 2010 is ENGAGE. Forming a toastmasters club is just one of several new initiatives we're taking. The aim of the club is to provide a forum for development with an emphasis on the financial world. Many finance professionals find that they lack both communication and leadership skills. These needs change as they progress through their career and we feel a toastmaster group will enhance this progression.
The first meeting will take place on Wednesday 11 November at 07.15am for a 07.30am start (finish 8.30-8.45). Two further meetings will follow on Wednesday 25 November and Wednesday 9 December. Regular meeting dates/venues for 2010 will be confirmed soon.
We are looking for toastmasters from other clubs to come and help us out over the next few months. Most roles for the launch date have now been filled but we need to fill roles for the following two meetings urgently. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Please email me or call 020-922-9111 - let me know which club you are from and the role/s you can help us with. If you're a finance professional who'd like to attend I'd love to hear from you too.
11 November – Deloitte, 2 New Street Square, London EC4
25 November and 9 December – Deloitte, Athene Place, 66 Shoe Lane EC4
I look forward to meeting you soon.
