Rationale and History of the program
Historically, the Effective Speaking component of JCI Canada and our Chapters was a well known training session. This had gradually declined but was rejuvenated under the direction of JCI Okanagan Senator, Laura Thurnheer. Laura developed and facilitated an Effective Speaking course available to members and non members annually. Several graduates from Laura’s course went on to compete, AND WIN, at the JCI Area and World level effective speaking competition. Specifically, two World Champions, Joanne Woolley and Rhonda Victoor, both trained under Laura’s program. As a result of these international, and many local successes, the training has become well known in the JCI Canada community. The National Effective Speaking program is based largely on the training program Laura Thurnheer developed, along with contributions from other JCI Canada local effective speaking trainers.
