About Lion City Toastmasters Club
About Lion City Toastmasters Club
In February 1977, a group of graduates from Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) set up the AMASIM—Advanced Management Alumni of SIM and started a Toastmasters Club. However, due to the lack of logistical support, it became autonomous and opened its membership to the public in 1980. The Club's name was subsequently changed to Lion City Toastmasters Club (TMC) that year.
In 1299, a Prince named Sang Nila Utama, thought he saw a lion while hunting in Temasek (the old name of Singapore) and he subsequently renamed the city “Singapura” – derived from the Malay words “Singa” for Lion and “Pura” for city. Hence, "Lion City" is another name for Singapore, and that is why we name our club "Lion City Toastmasters Club".)
Lion City Toastmasters Club is the 2nd oldest toastmasters club in Singapore and over the years, has helped to sponsor other toastmasters clubs, such as the SIM TMC in 1984, Tampines Changkat TMC in 1993, New Millennium TMC in 1998, Certified Public Accountant (Australia) TMC in 1999 and Singapore Tourism Board TMC in 2000.
Our members are also active in the Toastmasters International movement and served in various leadership capacities. Our club member, Augustine Lee DTM, is the first International Director from Singapore and aptly given the title Past International Director (PID).

At this Special Chapter Meeting, Stefan will take us behind the scenes of the AI agent he built to support his VP Public Relations work.
How did an experiment become part of Lion City’s actual social-media workflow? What worked? What went spectacularly wrong? And which responsibilities might the AI agent already be handling better than the human?
The talk will be a special segment within our usual Chapter Meeting programme, which also includes: prepared speeches, impromptu Table Topics, constructive speech evaluations, and opportunities to meet Lion City members and experience Toastmasters

Everyone went away with renewed confidence to express themselves whether it's in a boardroom, social gathering or when giving a wedding toast.
With our lively group of senior professionals from PhDs to CEOs, there were also plenty of laughs and yummy snacks to be had!

Sophia shared her wisdom on how to craft relatable messages by speaking authentically and allowing our personality to shine through. Through her speech, she gave advice on what it means to be authentic and how to be our authentic selves. Translating that authenticity into our speeches would increase our relatability to the audience. This allows us to achieve the primary goal of any speech, which is to connect with your audience.
