Keynote Presentation: ‘The Difference between Ordinary and Extraordinary’. The Difference between Ordinary and Extraordinary’ In Toastmasters, leaders have the opportunity to serve others. Some leaders become extraordinary – not because of their title, or their level of efficiency. These leaders touch the lives of others in unique ways. Each one of us has the opportunity to uncover the extraordinary in others. In the process, we unlock it in ourselves.
