But just what do we mean by "leadership?” It would appear to be the capacity to look ahead, think ahead, plan ahead and then influence other people to go ahead in the plan.

About the Club
The Toastmasters club of NMIMS Bangalore is all about grooming the leader within you. All of us at some point of our lives get an opportunity to become a Leader, and a leader’s prime responsibility is to inspire, lead by an example and instill commitment and passion within people through continuous motivation. To achieve such purpose and seize the opportunity, Oratory skills are the ones which play a major role. Words have the power to conquer the world and it is upon us to communicate our ideas effectively to the team which makes us stand apart from others. With that been said, a leader’s duty is to not only speak but to also listen, consolidate the best ideas from teammates and forge them into an effective strategy. Afterall, Teamwork is Power!!

Thriving on Challenges – The 2020/21 Journey
The academic year 2020-21 witnessed a disruption in form of the pandemic which forced various institutional Toastmasters club across the globe to shift to the Virtual mode of meeting so as to respect the social distancing norms. However, such challenges did not deter the motivation of the club members as we reached our 100th Milestone meeting and celebrated the same with a grand event in a joint collaboration with the prestigious Provokta – The Toastmasters club of IIM Raipur.
The Junior and Senior members of the club showcased their talents on various occasions in form of winning performances in different types of Oratory competitions throughout the year, thus raising the name of their Alma Mater. Amid the challenges of the pandemic, the club created several learning and networking opportunities for its members to hone their speaking skills, forge their personality and get mentored by experts from the industry whilst enjoying themselves along the way. One such honor was to host the esteemed chief guest Jai Narayan in our 96th Toastmasters meeting, when he provided a mentoring session to the students on "How to craft an effective speech and tell a story” along with all the motivation they need to face an audience.
The right guidance, at the right time from the right mentor instilled a sense of confidence in the students of the club who then took initiative to represent the club at the district level competition "Tall tales” at the event "Euphoria” organized by the contest chair of District 121, Area E4.
Overall, the Toastmasters club of NMIMS Bangalore witnessed a stellar year in terms of overall success. Finishing the year strongly is an example of how true Leadership stands strong despite the challenges. Perhaps it is true, that when Life throws lemons at you, make a lemonade!!!
And that is exactly what we do all throughout the year at the Leadership club of NMIMS, Bangalore.
We are not just a club. We are a Family!!
