VANCOUVER, BC, February 16, 2011 (Press-News.org) Motivational speaker and best-selling author Joe Roberts encouraged and inspired the administrators and members of Toastmasters District 21 last week with his inspirational "Skid Row CEO" presentation.
The event took place at the Jim Pattison Pavilion in the Vancouver General Hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on Saturday February 5th, 2011. Roberts' presentation "From Skid Row to" highlighted his unique "rags to riches" personal life story, which inspired his audience of young speakers to overcome adversity and use their speaking abilities to become leaders in their fields.
"Speakership is leadership." said Joe Roberts in his presentation. "We all have the power to lead."
His message proved to the audience that regardless of what type of adversity one faces, everyone has the ability to overcome it and use their experiences to make a positive impact in the world.
