Toastmasters helps to ‘Look Better, Feel Better & Live Better’
Author and NHS Award-winner Elizabeth Roddick, a Glasgow Pharmacist, has become one of Southside Speakers many Competent Communicators. 
Southside Speakers Club, part of Toastmasters International, has helped pharmacist and author Elizabeth Roddick confidently and charismatically present to 100’s of people at this year’s Edinburgh Festival.
Elizabeth discovered that she could look many years younger than her age and change her life for the better. In order to share her secret and guide everyone through the lifestyle changing exercise she wrote her book ‘Look Better, Feel Better, Live Better’. However, that wasn’t enough as Elizabeth wanted to reach more people but first she had to perfect her public speaking skills in order to stand in front of audiences around the UK and tell her story.
Elizabeth read about the benefits of Toastmasters by searching the internet for help and came across http://www.southsidespeakers.org.uk/ her local Toastmasters organisation.
Elizabeth commented, ‘Southside Speakers has been invaluable in helping me to achieve my goals of presenting to audiences at every opportunity and particular at this year’s fringe festival in Edinburgh’
