Sungai Buloh, Selangor – 22nd June 2024 – The Elite Toastmasters Club proudly conducted a Young Leadership Programme at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sierramas in Sungai Buloh, Selangor. This inspiring event aimed to cultivate leadership skills and public speaking confidence among the students, and it was met with great enthusiasm and success.
Toastmaster Juliana Philip, affectionately known as Jules, meticulously organised the programme. Juliana is renowned for her passion for human connection and professional expertise in providing solutions for organisations focused on employee engagement. Driven by a strong belief in giving back to society, Juliana spearheaded the event with dedication and care.
Juliana and her committed team collaborated closely with Cikgu Nik from the school, navigating the extensive preparations required to ensure the programme’s success.
