Parmita Debnath, Manager – Strategic Projects (Academic and Professional Development – Executive MBA) and Manager – Quality Assurance (Dubai Campus) at SP Jain School of Global Management, shares her experience of being a part of the District Toastmasters Annual Conference (DTAC 2019) in Dubai.
It was a great privilege and honour to attend and be a part of the prestigious District Toastmasters Annual Conference (DTAC 2019) yet again this year. The conference included four regions – UAE, Oman, Jordan and Lebanon – and was held in Dubai from April 25-27, 2019. The event was attended by around 700 delegates.
It was a wonderful learning experience to witness the International Public Speaking Contest and the outstanding winners across the four regions. The ‘World Champions in Public Speaking’ are undoubtedly created here in this challenging and supportive forum.
The Conference highlights included three prodigious Workshops conducted by renowned personalities such as:
Their incredible experiences in their respective fields were inspirational.
Over the past 2.5 years of our Toastmasters journey, weaving through the TMIs Core Values of Integrity, Respect, Service, and Excellence, has immensely blessed us as Team SP Jain Toastmasters Club, Dubai. We have had many satisfying moments as we continue to refine our public speaking and leadership roles and go through the many ‘hoops’ of the myriads of opportunities this learning platform provides.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Nitish Jain (President – SP Jain) for supporting Toastmasters from the outset. Furthermore, Dr Gary Stockport (Dean – Executive MBA, SP Jain), Lakshmi Raman (Registrar, SP Jain) and Prof Christopher Abraham (Professor and Head of Campus (Dubai)) for their continuous support. Thanks to all the Associates, too, who have played a role in making Toastmasters happen.
