The Journey Begins

Some people are born with public speaking skills, perhaps. I was not one of them. My journey with Toastmasters began when a senior member of community introduced a club where people meet every week to practice speaking. He persuaded me to give it a try. I attended the first meeting and was impressed with not only the speaking power of people, but also their friendliness.

Despite all this goodness, I still was not sure if I should join. I had serious doubts about my public speaking ability and my confidence for standing in front of an audience was down low. Although I did not join right then (I wish I had), something was pulling me to this club. Finally after graduation, I came back to attend a meeting as a guest with a firm resolve to join.

My journey with Toastmasters has only continued since then. From a timid speaker to the founder of a new club, I have learned a great deal not only in the vast field of public speaking, but also in leadership and interpersonal skills, and I still have a long way to go.

In this blog, I will share with you my moments in the club, tips and tricks I learned from fellow toastmasters, and advice on leadership. I hope to learn from this blog equally as you, the readers.

My journey with Toastmasters begins from here...
