Edward Yuen

The Toastmaster (CC)

Edward has always watched his more charismatic friends basking in the spotlight. Held back by his social anxiety for most of his teen years and university years, he felt that was unable to communicate and express his thoughts. Upon his divine encounter that helped him overcome his social anxiety the first thing Edward did was to join a Toastmasters club. It was the best choice he made as most of his communication, leadership and facilitation foundations were based upon his years of dedication at Toastmasters.
