uIn this inspiring episode of The Toastmasters Experience, Evelyn sits down with Toastmaster Shaun Premnath to explore a remarkable journey of growth, leadership, resilience and self-discovery. Shaun shares how he first joined Toastmasters at just 21 years old — reluctantly at the encouragement of his mother. What began as a reluctant visit to a Toastmasters meeting soon became a transformational journey that would shape both his personal and professional future.
Through Toastmasters, he gradually developed confidence, communication skills, leadership ability, and greater self-awareness. He explains how evaluations, mentorship, and leadership opportunities taught him to slow down, connect authentically with people, and trust the process rather than rushing toward achievements.
The incoming Division Director for the newly formed Ironbark Division, Shaun discusses the excitement and responsibility of leading more than 35 clubs across a newly merged region. He speaks passionately about empowering others, mentoring future leaders, and creating opportunities for members to grow beyond their comfort zones. His philosophy is deeply influenced by the idea that “leaders create leaders, not followers.”
Today, he works as a music coach teaching piano and guitar, and credits Toastmasters for giving him the courage to pursue a life aligned with purpose and passion. His story is a powerful reminder that Toastmasters is about far more than public speaking — it can truly transform lives.
