Speech Diary

Somebody from Toastmasters saw my blog and left this comment, which really sums up well the benefits of the organisation:

'I remember thinking my first toastmasters meeting was formal too. Then as time progressed and I attended more meetings I discovered that the formal roles really disguise speaking opportunities.

If someone is trying to overcome a fear of something like speaking then give them opportunities in every meeting to speak, hence the production of a lot of meeting roles with specific tasks that allow people to speak.

Thanks for sharing your first impressions of Toastmasters. I hope to read more as your journey continues!'
