Enhance Public Speaking and Leadership skills
**Conquer Your Fear of Public Speaking — Join the upcoming meeting of Barsha Toastmasters!**
Did you know that **public speaking is one of the biggest fears worldwide**? For many, the idea of speaking in front of a crowd is more terrifying than anything else!
A few years ago, that was me. I had ideas, thoughts, and stories to share—but the moment I stood before an audience, my mind went blank.
Then one day, I stumbled upon a quote that changed everything:
**"Do the thing you fear most and the death of fear is certain." – Mark Twain**
That’s when I walked into a **Barsha Toastmasters Club** meeting—and my life took a new turn. Over time, what was once fear gave way to **confidence, clarity, and connection**. Today, I speak with ease, have won multiple speech awards, and—most importantly—I enjoy doing it.
**Are you looking to:**
• Speak confidently in front of any audience?
• Become the speaker you've always aspired to be?
• Strengthen your leadership and communication skills?
Then we invite you to **visit Barsha Toastmasters Club**—a vibrant, supportive community where learning and growth happen together.
At each meeting, you'll experience:
🎤 Prepared Speeches
🎯 Impromptu Speaking (Table Topics)
🧠 Constructive Evaluations
🤝 Leadership Roles & Mentoring
💰 **Guest Fee:** AED 30 per person
☕ Includes light refreshments (tea, coffee, cookies)
🚗 Free Parking – just inform hotel security you’re attending Toastmasters
📞 RSVP or Questions?
Call/WhatsApp: Mr. Nihal , +971 529715054
Interested in membership? Contact: Ms. Silja, +971 554426561
Come witness the journey of members transforming into confident, impactful speakers—and **take your first step today**.
**We can’t wait to welcome you!**
– *President, Barsha Toastmasters Club*

Speed Business Networking DIFC - Let's grow your business together!
IMPORTANT: If you RSVP, it is essential that you attend or update your RSVP status at least one day before the networking session. For an optimal networking experience, we need at least 20-25 participants. If you RSVP and do not attend, it is not fair to those who are punctual and turn up as they said they would. Please be mindful and only RSVP if you are confident you can attend.
7:30 PM to 9:30 PM (PLEASE, BE ON TIME!)
Concrete Restaurant
Burj Daman Tower
DIFC, Dubai
Located on Ground Floor (VIEW MAP - https://maps.app.goo.gl/3u5DZgQrvJPLrv1U6)
**Parking:** 2 hours of free parking are available in the building.
It's fast, it's fun, and the best thing about it is that you get to pitch to many different people within a short period.
All that you need is your business cards (not compulsory) and your presence.
Typically, you would meet many different people, spending only 2 - 3 minutes with each, and it's a great way to meet others. You speak to the person in front of you, and when the bell rings, you move to your left to speak to the next person. View Video of past events (https://youtu.be/ImZAe4OQ1qg).
This gives you a great chance to network with business owners and decision-makers to find the clients, vendors, and professionals you need most.
**Cost: AED 70 cash** (Includes Coffee, Tea, Soft Drinks or Water)
Remember to tell your friends, colleagues and associates and bring lots of business cards!
How to get there: (VIEW MAP - https://maps.app.goo.gl/3u5DZgQrvJPLrv1U6)
IMPORTANT RULES ON TIMING, NO-SHOWS AND CANCELLATION:
1. Please, be on time, so that we can start promptly at 7.30 pm.
2. If you have never been here before, then arrive early, so that you can find us.
3. If you have RSVP'd as "YES" and then do not show up, you will be removed and banned from this group, as it shows you are not professional enough to be a part of this group. You can easily change the status if you know that you may not make it. This is important as we have to make prior reservations at the venue.
4. People arriving late may not be able to join in if we have already begun, as that ruins the flow and transitions around the tables. By allowing people to join late results in meeting the same person twice and missing out on others, which is unfair for those who arrive on time.
Any questions, please call OR WhatsApp Vlad on +971 56 693 0866.
About the Organisers - Vlad Tashakov and Oksana Tashakova are organisers of this successful event and also founders of [QPQ International](https://qpq.international/), Wealth Dynamics Unlimited and Millionaire Summit.

Confidence in Bloom: How Creativity Builds Confidence
**Confidence in Bloom: How Creativity Builds Confidence**
What happens when creativity becomes an intentional practice?
In this month’s Confidence Lab, we’ll gather at **Petals That Inspire: The Flourish Studio** for an evening exploring the connection between creativity and confidence. How making with our hands, engaging our senses, and allowing space for expression can shift how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible.
Our featured speaker, **Amanda Lorenzetti**, owner of Petals That Inspire, will share how creativity has shaped her own confidence journey and why creative environments play such a powerful role in well-being, resilience, and personal growth. Drawing from her work leading an experience-driven floral studio and a community-centered workforce development program, Amanda will reflect on creativity as both a personal and collective catalyst.
Amanda will also guide us through a **hands-on floral design experience**, creating a fresh arrangement in a wide mouth mason jar. No prior floral experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to engage the process.
This evening is an invitation to slow down, create, and reconnect with the part of yourself that grows through care, attention, and imagination. You’ll leave with a floral arrangement to take home, and a deeper understanding of how confidence can be cultivated through creative practices.
**Featured Speaker: Amanda Lorenzetti**
Amanda Lorenzetti is the owner and founder of [Petals That Inspire](https://www.petalsthatinspire.com/) and The Flourish Studio, a social enterprise florist based in Columbus, Ohio. She brings more than a decade of experience in wedding and event sales, paired with hands-on expertise in floral and event design.
Amanda’s connection to the floral industry began early, spending time alongside her godmother, a professional florist on the East Coast.
After earning her business degree, she returned to her hometown in Connecticut to work as a floral and event designer, blending creative artistry with strong operational and client-focused skills.
In 2020, Amanda returned to the floral industry with a renewed purpose, driven by a desire to build a business rooted in creativity, community impact, and sustainability. During this pivotal time, she founded Petals That Inspire—an innovative floral concept that reimagines the traditional florist model by combining event florals, workshops, and experiential offerings with a mission-centered approach to workforce development.
Today, Petals That Inspire is a thriving social enterprise known for its thoughtful design, educational experiences, and commitment to empowering young adults facing barriers to entry in the workforce. Amanda is deeply passionate about building businesses that are both profitable and purpose-driven, and she leverages her strong business acumen to create a scalable & sustainable model that inspires creativity while giving back to the community.
**What is Confidence Lab?**
Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here.
Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work.
It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact.
***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
