Thanksgiving time gets me thinking about the mountain of gifts I've received. The gifts I appreciate most are those which offer memories of good experiences. 1 1/2 years ago I gave myself a gift which I did not expect to be as important to me as it turns out to be. I signed up to improve my speaking skills. I feared standing in front of a group. I saw this as a huge responsibility and feared I would let my audience down. Toastmasters has been and continues to help me be a better speaker and a better leader. I was just looking for a way to become a better speaker. What I got back was improvement in speaking AND the opportunity to practice my leadership skills with a group of amazing people.
Thank you, Toastmasters.
Respectfully your student,
