Where the Idea for "Lessons From the Top" Came From:
At the August, 1999, International Convention in Chicago, I picked
up a terrific handout called, "They Brought Out The Magic...
You Can, Too!" by International Director
Johnny Uy, DTM. In it, he interviewed several World Champions of Public
Speaking.
In February 2000, I remembered that handout and thought, "What
if we could find out from Immediate Past District Governors (IPDGs)
what made the difference in reaching their Critical Success Factors?"
I decided to call the IPDGs to ask them.
"Lessons From the Top" is the result of 33 wonderful conversations.
As we approach the homestretch to June 30th, I hope current and incoming
Top 3 Teams will find these leadership gems as inspiring as I have!
Every word hit home for me and I used italics to emphasize some especially
important lessons.
My special thanks to the IPDGs who shared their experiences and their
dedication to Toastmasters within these pages.
