Innovative Leadership

Trish Blackwelder, DTM
“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

Steve Jobs, Co-Founder Apple Computers

Speaking Experience

The leadership training I've received from my involvement with Toastmasters has made such a difference in my life. Now, I want to help others make changes in their lives -- reaching for and achieving their personal development goals.

Leading up to my service as a district leader, I traveled the country presenting an innovative series of segments on leadership qualities and aligning them with the leadership opportunities in Toastmasters. These presentations were well-received at club, area, division, district and regional levels. Here's a sampling of those topics:
