Listen to this episode
[21:45] In this episode, Greg and Ryan speak with Dr. Wenjing He, M.D., Ph.D., a member of an elite global team of surgeons and scientists conducting cutting-edge research at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Canada. Dr. He is also one of several members of the research team who also belong to the College Plaza Toastmasters Club, featured in the December 2019 issue of the Toastmaster magazine.

Dr. He joins the show to speak both about the fascinating research taking place in her Star Trek-like lab, as well as the communication skills enhancements taking place in the “learning lab” of the College Plaza Toastmasters club, of which she currently serves as President. 


You’ll also hear about how this once struggling club put on their "WOW!" and became a President’s Distinguished Club. Dr. He also shares about the unique ways her club offers Table Topics and evaluates speeches to meet the needs of this distinctive and diverse group of professionals - staff and students.
