Venue: Grange Strathmore Hotel,  41 Queen's Gate Gardens, London, SW7 5NB

Leadership starts from within. Self-leadership enables us to understand more about who we are, how we think and what drives us. It gives us the opportunity to further develop and enhance our personal leadership qualities and capabilities. It is self-leadership which, ultimately, allows us to achieve the outcomes that we desire.

In this fast-paced, interactive and entertaining workshop Glen Savage - multi-award winning public speaker, coach, NLP practitioner and leadership expert - will help you explore your purpose, your beliefs, your values and the qualities that you deem important to you as a leader.

Through a light-hearted look at a serious topic - using movie clips, cartoons and stories, you’ll discover essential qualities and behaviours for successful self-leadership. You’ll identify which traits you wish to develop in order to achieve more. You’ll be actively engaged in discussions and exploration, you’ll capture your insights in a bespoke handout and you’ll leave with a personal action plan.

As Glen says, “The leader inside determines the results outside.”

Attend this unique workshop to help you sculpt your future success.

If you use energy come to the debate - Tuesday 104 London Debaters

From 104 London Debaters

In order to deal with climate change, Bill Nordhaus, winner of the Economics Nobel Prize, has proposed imposing a tax to discourage the behavior of fossil-fuel users.

 

Others, such as John Standerfer in HuffPost, have argued that punitive taxes don't work and are tantamount to stealth social engineering by the state.

 

On Tuesday 22 January we will debate the motion: This House would impose punitive taxes on fossil fuels.

 

What do you think? Are punitive taxes worth their costs to the citizenry if they work? Or, c an you think of a reason to be against such a tax?

 

COME ON TUESDAY! Judge the arguments, and add your own reasons during Floor Contributions.

 

104 London Debaters is the UK's first and only Toastmasters club dedicated to debate.  

Our debate is on Tuesday, 22 January 2019, 6:45 gathering for 7:00 gavel, The Grange Rochester Hotel, 69 Vincent Square,  SW1P-2PA (entrance on Vane Street).  Near Victoria Station and Pimlico Station. Convenient to Vauxhall Station as well.

Should we all go Vegan? Come to a New Year's debate on the issue:Tues 8th Jan

From 104 London Debaters

For our first meeting of the new year, we consider one option which some people take up as a New Year's Resolution for cleaner, more ethical living.  Our motion will be: This House would go Vegan.

Is your New Year's resolution to improve your persuasive speaking/debate skills?  Is it to change your diet? Whatever your resolution coming along to our debate on 8 January will be a good start to 2019!

Here are some opposing views on the Vegan issue to get you thinking:

According to The Guardian, avoiding meat and dairy products is the single biggest way to reduce your environmental impact on the planet. Further, there is now a great deal of convincing data that breeding animals for food dirties the air and chews up the earth. One recent peer-reviewed study from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine calculates that should the world go vegan, annual greenhouse gas emissions would halve and the new land used every year for each person would near-halve. The diet is also healthier personally, it's claimed.

But The Telegraph demurs, describing the self-righteous ritual involving metropolitan media elite staples such as kale and quinoa, a sudden obsession with turmeric, and baffling tolerance for the culinary aberration that is rubbery tofu.

What's your opinion? Come scrutinize the arguments and give us your own.
