ToastmastersAre you a Toastmaster? Any tips and tricks for success?

We recently had our local Toastmasters start a Tuesday morning meeting in the Upper Keys, specifically Taster's in Tavernier on the third Tuesday morning at 8:00 AM. This is great for me because my Husband is home in the evening and I like to be home with him.The meeting is early enough so you still have the entire day to work.

I scouted it out for a couple of meeting and recently joined. I have just received all my membership information in the mail. I have to admit, it looks a bit intimidating. Any input from my AR friends?

Hi Kathy, all the best with your membership in Toastmasters.  I'm not a member but I think it would be a great benefit in helping with speaking abilities and confidence.  Good luck and happy holidays!

Kathy, Congratulations for stepping out of your comfort zone.

You will definitely benefit from Toastmasters.  I was a Toastmaster in Upstate NY for a few years way back in the early 80s and I can say that the lessons learned are lasting!..If you have attended any meetings you know about the 2 minute Table Talks and the member who counts all the "WORD WHISKERS". These exercises stimulateyour ability to speak "off the cuff" and without the ah's and um's which are so prevalent today even with our professional politicians!

If I can help in any way, please feel free to contact me.

Wish you the BEST

My first speak is about me. I really don't know how to define "me" and each of my friends gives me a different point of view of what they think I am. I think I may have to go with an experience instead of who I am.
