Participants will also get to hear from Kwong Yue Yang on improving their communications capability. An active Toastmasters participant, Kwong has moved up to the World Championships twice, taking 2nd place both times. He has spoken at events in many countries including China, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and the USA.

According to Eugene Mayne, Group Chief Executive Officer, Tristar Group, who will be speaking at the event: “When we thought of celebrating our milestone achievement of 100th Tristar Toastmasters Club meeting, we wanted to do something special for Toastmasters in the UAE who have devoted their time to improve communications and leadership abilities to not only improve their lives but also to encourage and motivate others to achieve their full potential. We decided to host a special evening with celebrated speakers to give back to the Toastmasters community in the UAE. The Tristar Toastmasters Club is now in its sixth year and all our employees who are members of the club have greatly benefited from the club’s supportive environment to develop their communication and leadership skills.
