 | My Professional Trainer Profile | Jan 5, 2007 |
My name is Azmi Shahrin, Distinguished Toastmaster, Past President of both Extol Toastmasters Club and Kelab Pidato Perdana. I received my early but most important education at the Malay College of Kuala Kangsar (MCKK). After SPM, I won a Shell Scholarship to read Accounting and Economics at the University of Kent, United Kingdom, which I successfully completed with a Second Class Uppers Honours. Presently, I am a Masters in Economics candidate at the University of Malaya, where I served as the President of the Faculty of Economics and Administration Postgraduate Club. I am also active in politics and youth organizations. I was the Ketua Pergerakan Pemuda UMNO Cawangan USJ14, Setiausaha Pemuda UMNO Zon USJ, AJK Biro Belia & Sukan Pemuda UMNO Bahagian Kelana Jaya and AJK Belia 4B Kawasan Kelana Jaya. I don’t think I am a bright spark but MENSA thought I can keep in their good company.
I am a senior member of the Toastmasters International organization, having served as Presidents of several clubs, Area Governor and Division Governor. Currently, I am a Toastmasters Leadership Institute Trainer and Counselor of The 1st Malaysian Gavel Club. I was named the Division C Toastmaster of The Year in 2005 in recognition of my dedicated and exemplary service for Toastmasters International. I am a well respected speaker who has won awards at various speech contests at the Club, Area and Division levels. My most recent success was being the Runner-Up at the Division B Speech Evaluation Contest in October 2006.
Professionally, I have had the privilege of letting Shell and Maxis use my marketing and Brand Management talents where I brought them prodigious amounts of profits in exchange for a pittance. I thought better now to earn my own bread.
In the past 5 years, I have helped hundreds of students, teachers, lecturers and adults of all walks to develop communication and public speaking skills, which are vital skills for success and self actualization. I fully support the Ministry of Education’s policy in using English to teach mathematics and science because I truly believe that this is our best hope in reconciling the twin demands of keeping to the aspirations of our national language Bahasa Malaysia and yet promote English as the international language of knowledge acquisition. I hope that my contribution will help Malaysians to communicate with style, effectively and confidently. I have conducted training programs clients such as the Petronas, Tourism Malaysia, Bank Rakyat, Melia Hotel, Tenaga Nasional, UMW, INTAN, Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Defense, University of Malaya, Sedaya International University College and NXP Semiconductors among others. I am currently the Principal Trainer for Proskills Trainers, Dynamic Speakers Training Centre and consult for training providers such as Global Human Resource Centre, Multi Skills Training Consultancy, MQ Training Consulting Coaching and Maslow Trainers & Consultants Sdn Bhd.

I invite you to browse through my photo and video gallery below and see what delightful participants I have had.. especially the sweet, smiling, happy faces. :-))
Some of them said these about me.
"I like the way Mr Azmi delivered his talk. It has changed my confidence level in Public Speaking." - Teh Faridah Bt Mustafa, English Lecturer, Merlimau Polytechnic.
En Azmi really challenged me to read up on the principles of language teaching that I have learnt and demonstrated that it is the 'How/Deliver' of a presentation that matters as opposed to the 'What/Content' of the presentation." - Anonymous, English Lecturer, Merlimau Polytechnic."
Azmi, I am very proud of you because you are the only Malay who can conduct a public speaking program in English." - Encik Abd Hadi Abd Hamid, Dekan Jabatan Pengajian Am, Merlimau Polytechnic.
I'd like to share an interesting conversation I had. Read on..
At the end of a Public Speaking Program, Mrs Ivy Yap - mother of Eugene Yap (my participant) told me, "Encik Azmi, I am surprised to hear that you teach English at the Subang Jaya Buddhist Temple!"
"Why are you surprised?" I asked.
"I am surprised because you are a Malay," she replied.
"Ha! Ha!" I chuckled, "Mrs Yap, actually, you shouldn't be surprised that I teach at the Buddhist Temple. You should be more surprised that the Buddhist Temple wants me to teach and that the parents trust me with their children. Think about it, ok?"
Mrs Tan said the following about me.
It is indeed a privilege to know Azmi since Dec 2005 when I sent my son and two daughters to attend the Extol Public Speaking Workshop. And when the 1st Malaysian Gavel Club was initially set up in early 2006 in Subang Jaya Buddhist Association, Azmi encouraged my daughters to join as members and subsequently, my eldest daughter, Swea Phin, was elected as Vice-President (Membership).
With constant and unfailing encouragement, guidance, training and mentorship, Azmi has surely and steadily build-up a pool of lively and resourceful young people in the art of communication and public speaking. His superb enthusiasm and "never give up" attitude on this group of youngsters demonstrates his keen and exceptional passion to share and uplift the level of communicating in good English amongst especially the younger generation irrespective of race and religion across all boundaries. Azmi indeed is a rare gem!

 | I had the privilege of attending a programme which Mr. Azmi conducted at my school. Fear of public speaking is something that is very real, and very common, and he coaxed us out of our shells and just try speaking in public regardless of grammatical mistakes or errors in pronunciation. And it was all presented very effectively using very simple English in a very non-threatening way. Kudos to Mr. Azmi for a very insightful and inspiring program! (We shall now try to get rid of those nasty speech crutches!) |
