To anyone hoping to grow as a leader, one characteristic is sure to help: confidence. Whether you are taking on a leadership role during club meetings or building leadership skills at work, coming across as confident can increase your influence. Confidence can be practiced and improved upon. You don’t need to make huge leaps or take big risks; even the smallest efforts will help build your confidence over time. Strategies include focusing each day’s activities, refining your skills before they are needed, leveraging volunteer roles to practice new skills and working through challenges. TACL Toastmasters provides an ideal environment to work on these confidence-building strategies.

台灣人活動中心特別公告
-
活動中心在今年五月初就開始把老舊的屋頂做了翻修工程,經過幾個月來的下雨考驗,現在已經可以公開宣佈以前經常有漏水的現象,現在已經完全沒有再為水患苦惱。也就是說,我們目前可以很自信的且又開心的說台灣人活動中心可以跟漏水説Bye! Bye!了。9/25/2019 (星期三) 下午三時左右,黃老閭也派了他的工人把三個排水孔換成 OMG O-Ring Drains,看起來既堅固且耐用,我們活動中心同鄕們都很慶幸又感激,以後不用再為水患問題而操心了。
-
台灣人活動中心決定今年(2019年) 將繼續舉辦乒乓球比賽。游福華老師兼教練已經在事前做些策劃,現在正在鼓勵乒乓球球員們多多報名參加比賽,也把乒乓球比賽規則和比賽項目細節部份都先訂定清清楚楚的,以利比賽能順利進行。最近九月底或十月初就會開始比賽,請大家拭目以待,來參觀並向比賽者鼓勵加油,謝謝!
