This presentation describes my High Performance Leadership Project for Toastmasters. I presented it to my club, Poway Black Mountain Toastmasters, at our meeting on Thursday May 30, 2013. It describes what an HPL project is, how I came to choose this particular project and gives a sketch of what the project will accomplish. The next step for me is to do the project planning, then execute the project. I'll have another presentation at the end of the project to present the results and Lessons Learned. The audio for the first slide is my first-person version of the introduction given by the Toastmaster of the evening, James Black. I won a ribbon for Best Speaker that evening in a vote which included two DTMs (Distinguished Toastmasters).
