"My wish is to connect members with their hopes and dreams!"

-Helen He

Second Vice President Candidate

Toastmasters International

Here's a video of Helen envisioning the future of Toastmasters International by power of connection.

Why connection is important

​As a member of the Executive Committee, it is critical to recognize we live in a world often divided by multiple factors. Our challenge is to bridge those factors by ensuring the best educational opportunities for our leaders at the Board, District and Club levels. Providing these the opportunities for continuing leadership development and challenging existing leaders at all levels to excel is essential for the future of our organization. This is only possible by keeping the vital connection between the Executive Committee and the needs of our members and the needs of our organization and merging these two sides of executive leadership in balance and synchronization. That is the challenge to engage anyone seeking to serve at the highest levels of our organization. Toastmasters International is in the business of nurturing human potential, bridging gaps between personal dreams and collective possibilities.

How Helen connects

During the COVID pandemic in Wuhan, when membership threatened to collapse, she didn’t just manage a crisis—she rebuilt the community. She transformed potential membership loss into a district-wide reconnection, proving leadership is about the connection of human touch. This is the tenacity and focus she is looking to bring to the Executive Committee. Developing an honest and open connection between the members of the Executive Committee, offering a full and thoughtful examination of the challenges facing our organization in the next five years of service and beyond. Her approach to Executive Committee membership involves careful listening, adding a clear and understandable point of view, knowing how and when to compromise without surrendering her commitment to our core values; Integrity, Respect, Service and Excellence.

What to do to make Toastmasters a world of connection

True connection begins at the top of any organization. The Executive Committee must stay connected to the realities faced by the Districts and Clubs, while nurturing and sustaining the operations of our organization. It requires intentional, empathetic cooperation between the members of the Executive Committee to develop strategies for today and the future. We must be leaders who listen actively, engage honestly and work together so we can enhance that which is already an influential organization in countries around the world. The top leaders in our organization need to be open to the use of all emerging technologies, marketing strategies and leader development to ensure continuing growth. By remaining agile and responsive, the Executive Committee can unlock the organization’s full potential. A genuine connection isn’t about scale, but about creating authentic, supportive environments where every member can thrive.
