My short experience as a toast master has come to an end, everything started last year when i was invited to a toast master meeting, for those who doesn't know what i am talking about, see below:
Toastmasters International (TI) is a nonprofit educational organization that operates clubs worldwide for the purpose of helping members improve their communication, public speaking and leadership skills. Through its thousands of member clubs, Toastmasters International offers a program of communication and leadership projects designed to help people learn the arts of speaking, listening, and thinking.
The organization grew out of a single club, Smedley Club Number 1, which would become the first Toastmasters club. It was founded by Ralph C. Smedley on October 22, 1924, at theYMCA in Santa Ana, California, United States. Toastmasters International was incorporated under California law on December 19, 1932. Throughout its history, Toastmasters has served over four million people, and today the organization serves over 260,000 members in 113 countries, through its over 12,800 member clubs.
I really had a blast while in the toastmasters, there is a good vibe down there and people are very friendly, and i really improved my speaking skills a nudge there, the only bummer is that i had to be there every Monday around 7 and that was no fun...I still remember the day of my first speech!
It was called from Mexico to the world, although i got some critics that should have been named something like, I am a girl and that didn't stop me, i guess if i had the time to actually elaborate my speech, perhaps i had named it differently, anyways..as my friends at the toastmaster say, no guts no triumph and they are so right! ;)
