Hello, I’m Dian Halleyuisari

Dian is a writer, former hotelier, tea lover, and lifelong learner. She is a Medium writer on mental health and well-being. She has a passion for personal growth, wellness, and human development. 

She first joined Toastmasters in Bali, Indonesia in 2018. "When I visited a Toastmasters club in 2018, I fell in love with the atmosphere and the environment. I had difficulty expressing myself. Here I meet people from different backgrounds and ages. They look comfortable and safe expressing themselves without fear of being judged.”

There is a phrase I hear, "Toastmasters is the safest place to make a mistake". Toastmasters is like an iceberg. On the surface, it seems like a place to do public speaking and develop leadership skills. But under the surface, there are a lot of things someone can gain without even realizing it. This could be self-confidence, courage, self-discovery, etc.

The Speaker Lounge is my 3rd Toastmasters club. I love the diversity of people here. And the schedule of the club meetings suits me as well. It feels good to start the day after sunrise with many wonderful people in an encouraging and positive environment.

Warren Buffet says, "The best investment you can make is an investment in yourself." Toastmasters is one of the best investments.
