The Intangibles Podcast: Recent Episodes
Xavier Tarr
How do you become inspirational speaker? A transformative leader? Make somewhere the place to be? These answers can only be passed down from one generation to the next through stories. Each story is not a step by step guide but rather delivers the principles for success or the intangibles. Tiger Tales is a Toastmasters club from Rochester New York that started 7 years ago. Starting with it's founders, this club has produced high level speakers that have gone on to become this generation of leaders all around the world. Join me in talking with my club's cornerstones, revealing the intangibles.
