Melanie Surplice
Mel is a marketing and communications professional with 25+ years experience. Fascinated by the evolution of digital marketing, she loves experimenting in this space. Mel has procrastinated about podcasting for years, so is thrilled to have finally launched this podcast, even if she finds it terrifying.
Mel's Toastmasters journey began 30 years ago when she joined her first club in Sydney. As a new Uni graduate, she was keen to gain more confidence in public speaking. Since then, Toastmasters has been an integral part of her life, despite long gaps caused by some "life happens" phases. Mel has been a member of clubs in Sydney, London and the Gold Coast, and is currently the President of a local club on Brisbane's south side, and a member of an advanced club.
She is passionate about sharing the benefits of Toastmasters, and how the regular practice of public speaking in a supportive environment can transform your self-confidence and personal growth.
