Just wanted to let youi know that in two weeks I will present a speech which will qualify me for my Advanced Communicator Silver Certification. It took me seven years, but I did it. I am also an Area Governor and Chairman of Disstrict 52′s newsletter.

I enjoyed this post Scott, and will check out more of your blog! I like how you explain that Toastmasters isn’t just about giving formal speeches, it’s about everyday communication and offers something for everyone. I just joined officially last week, and have been to 4 meetings so far and the 5th one is tomorrow. I am signed up to tell some jokes, I hope it goes well! I joined toastmasters because I have a big fear of public speaking and I’ve been trying to do things that scare me this year for my “Shyness Project” (http://theshynessproject.wordpress.com/) this year, and it’s been going well! At first I wanted to get the heck out of there I felt so intimidated, but now I’m starting to feel more comfortable. I’m glad that Toastmasters has been a really good experience for you! Take care!

I have been a member since 2006 (off and on due to other commitments). It is an excellent group that can really improve your speaking and communication skills. I was extremely shy and it helped me break out of my shell. It also makes you push yourself in a new, positive direction. I kick myself because there are times that I make excuses why I have better things to do than attend a meeting once a week. As with anything, if you want results you need to put in the time. Do not let fear stop you from attending meetings. I let this happen and realized that I was just limiting myself. After I decided to keep going to the meetings regularly, I noticed a marked improvement. I was giving great speeches that made people laugh and got some really good reviews on my feedback forms!

What a great blog. I plan to email this to a friend. She is very shy,and convinced if she speak in public she will either wet her pants or die. My poor friend lives in the shadows, and I know Toastmasters will help her.
Her excuses are 1. I will wet my pants. 2. I will die. 3. Everyone will laugh at me. 4. Everyone will find me weird. 5. Everyone will think I am stupid. 6. No one will listen to me.

I know toastmasters is her ticket to a better life

I’ve been a Toastmaster for several years. I would agree that it’s one of the top personal development tools.

The investment is a no-brainer. First of all, the cost of Toastmasters is negligble (maybe $75/yr).

You’ll expand your social circle with people who are into personal development. Toastmasters are not lazy, apathetic cubicle rats. They want more out of life.

Finally, public speaking is a rare skill. You’ll differentiate yourself from your colleagues and competitors.

I so agree. TM teaches people how to run meetings effectively, how to engage people and get them on board, how to give non-threatening feedback and so many other leadership and communication skills.
