'A Toast to You' on Radio PlainsFM -No fear of speaking in public?
Six months ago we started a radio programme for Spreydon Toastmasters, a non for profit organisation, where I am the VP Public Relations. The goal is to inspire all to find their voice and gain confidence in their ability to overcome their fear of speaking in public. If I can do it, and other people who go to Toastmasters, then so can you.
Listen to inspiring stories on PlainsFM, 96.9. You can download the podcasts or listen every first Monday of the month at 12:00pm. Tomorrow, Monday, November 6, Dani Rius is being interviewed. Dani shares her secrets about her life and career before and after joining Toastmasters and wishes to inspire others to increase their confidence, as she did through learning in a friendly environment.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
