ToastMasters

[Cyberion]

I have for sometime now been of attendance to one of the local ToastMaster clubs, the club that I joined has members which crosses accountants and computer scientists; so I feel like I fit in just a bit..

Today the topic was "Music and its effect on our lives." When it was the Table Topics session, I was called up to give a 2 min speech on music influence..

Stage theatre, using my voice.. cause its always how you say it. At the beginning.. I sang it.

It goes to show me that I'm pushing my own envelope of what I'm cozy with.

Thanks for reading.

Cool Cyberion. Sorry, just noticed this a bit late.

I joined Toastmasters when I was in the military serving in Germany not long after I married and had my first kid. I was taking university extension courses and worrying how I would support my new family once I got out.

Those sessions were unnerving, but it was a good experience and worth the effort, although at times I was terribly discouraged.

Would you believe that was 45 years ago? It's true, if unbelievable.

I am now Vice President of Public Relations for my Club; fun! Today I went to training learned that even people with HUGE speech impediments were helped by ToastMasters; totally amazing!
