Kilkenny Toastmasters have celebrated a memorable evening of speeches followed by helpful feedback and ten out of this world topics.

The event started with Karan Murphy’s Drive In Speech where attendees learned about all the people who make Mount Juliet her favourite place; Pat Foley followed on with a speech full of Italian passion and song on lost love in Rome, and Caitriona brought everyone down to earth on the Power of Mindset to change our lives for the better.

Jamie O’Shea kept all intrigued with his ten topics that allowed people to practice impromptu speaking with short responses of one to two minutes. TAP HERE FOR MORE LOCAL NEWS
