"Helen is a wonderful example of how stepping into your discomfort, harnessing your passion, and learning from others can propel you to being a speaker on the stage. She joined the Chester Speaking Club (under the Toastmasters umbrella) less than a year ago and is now one of the most active public speakers in the club, talking with heart, authenticity, and humility, sharing her stories and messages and inspiring others. And she does this whilst striving to continue to improve her skills in this space and build her confidence. On top of that she is a key member of the club and plays a role in bringing people together networking outside of the club meetings."
Kate Manton - Toastmasters International | Community Officer
