Mazzella Presents at Regional TM Conference
Christina Mazzella is also a college professor.
Christina Mazzella (IT F&A) recently presented at the Regional Toastmasters Spring Conference held in Atlanta, GA. She became the first member of the Toastmasters Unplugged group, OIT's official Toastmasters entry, to present at a regional meeting.
With a speech that focused on how technology can be used and misused in the workplace, Christina spoke for about 45 minutes, then answered questions afterwards. The questions were lively and interesting. The District 14 conference was held in the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center.
Christine's topic was "The REAL You: Communicating in a Non-Communicative World" and she discussed detaching from the strings (technological devices) that hold us back. "All too often we find ourselves unwilling to examine the ways we interact with others," said Christine. "Reconnect, empower, be accountable, and learn and you will regain what is being lost."
