Toastmasters International recognizes BlueCross for two clubs
Toastmasters International has recognized BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee for its continuing support of the Toastmasters program. BlueCross sponsors two Toastmasters clubs where employees meet to develop and strengthen their communication and leadership skills in a supportive setting with their coworkers.
Lark Doley, president of Toastmasters International, said the Chattanooga-based health insurer “has done an amazing job using the program we offer to develop its employees in communication and leadership.”
Toastmasters’ communication and leadership teaches employees how to conduct effective meetings, practice time management, enhance listening skills, sharpen presentation skills and guide successful teams.
“Good communication and leadership skills are essential to the success of all the top performers within our company,” said BlueCross vice president of human resources Gary Steele. “We appreciate how Toastmasters helps our employees build those skills in a way that promotes both personal and professional growth, and we are honored to receive this prestigious award.”
