Toastcaster is a communication and leadership learning lab — a place where ideas are explored out loud.
Some episodes come From the Page, expanding on articles and written work. Others come From the Stage, capturing talks, presentations, and live conversations. You’ll also hear episodes From the Bookshelf, featuring authors and big ideas worth unpacking, and From Curiosity, where culture, technology, and everyday moments become lenses for better communication and leadership.
There’s no single format — just a shared intent: to explore how the way we communicate shapes how we lead, connect, and make sense of the world.

[19:56] When we think of caregiving, leadership is not usually the first word to come to mind. But when you research what this often unexpected responsibility requires, you’ll see how it extends beyond a typical leadership role; often done over and beyond one’s day job and usually has emotions attached to it.
In this episode Greg speaks with Rick Lauber, Author and former co-caregiver for both his aging parents. Rick shares a little of his journey and offers an honest insight as to what’s involved in really being a caregiver, what skills are needed and how it parallels with that of an organizational leader.
Rick shares about how this decade long experience had impacted him as well as some of what he learnt about leadership and about himself as well as what strengths he never knew he had and those skills he needed to learn along the way.
The experience lead Rick to publish two best-selling guide books – Caregiver’s Guide for Canadians and The Successful Caregiver’s Guide which we also hear a little about. Rick is from Edmonton, Canada and can be reached at RickLauber.com.
Rick also appears in Toastcaster episode #69 and is a former Toastmaster.
