“A Master at his art, as a guest on Tips From Toastmasters television program, Mr. Lesko shared with his audience the moving and powerful message of becoming the Master in what ever you chose to do in life. For the television program it was mastering communications. His talent for superb delivery and illustrative story telling was the perfect mix of ingredients needed to pull-off a top-notch performance. I'd be proud to have him return as a guest on the show.

"As an outstanding speaker and leader, John does what I hope every Toastmaster will do, he applies the skills he has learned beyond Toastmasters International. When he speaks, his audiences listen with a respect that is earned by one who speaks as an expert."
-- Dale Moyer, DTM, Distinguished Past District Governor, and Certified Protection Professional
John Lesko lights up the room with his energy and empathy for the topic at the moment. John consistently received numerous high marks for all of his Toastmaster Leadership Institute (TLI) elective classes in 2002 and 2003. I like his personable style and drive to continuously place himself in stretch assignments while encouraging and helping others to do the same. I see John adding a dynamic spark to numerous after dinner speaking engagements in his future!
