Ryan Whiddett President Rostrum Clubs of WA

Reflecting on five years of membership of Rostrum Clubs in WA, it seems timely to now step into the role as the WA President.
My journey to Rostrum started in 2015 when some friends, members already of Rostrum, recommended I come along to a meeting as I expressed an interest in taking my public speaking to the next level.
It was around the time that I felt the workshops that I was delivering to university students as part of my job at the time were no longer having the impact I wanted.
