Two years and two completed Toastmasters Paths were never part of a master plan. They were not goals I consciously set. Instead, they became the natural outcome of a journey that unfolded gradually, one that taught me something far more meaningful than accolades: how to practice self-love through intention, growth, and community.
Growing up, I was a quiet and timid child, more comfortable observing from the sidelines than standing in the spotlight. While center stage never appealed to me, I enjoyed working on projects, navigating change, and collaborating with teams. I simply hadn’t found the voice or the courage to express it. Years ago, a friend invited me to attend a Toastmasters meeting in India. I declined without hesitation.
Almost a decade later, life offered me the opportunity again, this time in South Africa, where I had relocated with my husband and our nine-month-old baby. Like many people adjusting to a new country and a new phase of life, I found myself searching for connection, growth, and belonging.
On 12 June 2023, I walked into my first meeting at Transformers Toastmasters feeling nervous, excited, and uncertain all at once. That single step marked the beginning of a journey that would reshape not just my communication skills, but my relationship with myself.
Looking back, my transformation was shaped by four key pillars—the 4 Ps.

One of the key aspects I have learnt in this past year (2017/18) is “follow-through”.
It is vital that as a leader one should follow through on promises and commitments. I can honestly say I have not got any better at it, but I am realising day by day the repercussions of not keeping the commitment.I guess one of the important components of this is to not promise what you can’t reasonably deliver – it is good to set stretch targets but not impossible ones. However, by far the most useful lesson for me has been to be more assertive and take action or air your feelings early before it becomes an aggressive response.
We could all be more assertive and less aggressive, and we may find solutions before conflicts arise.
