The Five Star 5 – Why I Am Loving Toastmasters!

You should stop by a Toastmasters meeting if you are interesting in developing your speaking and leadership skills. The best way to find out what this organization has to offer is to see for yourself!

Here are the top 5 reasons that I am loving Toastmasters:

Practice public speaking in a very positive environment
Develop as a leader
Meet new people (network within your club and district)
Hone organization, preparation and time management skills
Have fun and laugh!

Hey Tim. I like reasons 1-3-5. I never saw you as someone who felt he needed Toastmasters. After the last few workshops, I feel I need it now.

  Hey thanks for stopping by Bob! The best part of Toastmasters is it can help anyone, no matter how well versed they are in public speaking. There is so much more to a meeting than just the planned speeches, I have found it very helpful in many ways.
  
  Thanks again…

Toastmasters is a great opportunity to improve, whether you are terrified or public speaking or you love it and want to be better at it. The encouragement and positive environment will help anyone be successful. Proud to be a fellow Toastmaster, Tim!

Tim, I’ve been a Toastmaster member for more than 2 years and agree 100%. I’m actually surprised more young adults aren’t involved. Great to see you plug the organization to your readership!

We have a program called “Toastminers” out here for kids in grades1-3, run on a similar concept. I can’t wait to get the kids started in it. Their grandpa has been involved in Toastmasters for about 5 years now. So beneficial, whatever your age!

Timely reminder … spent a year with TM and then stopped. Its time to get back.

TM is a great place to learn and display leadership – in a non – threatening environment.
