Member Testimonials
Working to be ‘comfortable with being uncomfortable’ has been a theme throughout my Toastmasters journey,
Entering the doors to my very first Toastmasters meeting in a room with complete strangers was extremely uncomfortable. Over time I became comfortable with the anxiety of it all … meetings, speeches and strangers. Attending meetings became a routine event, speeches turned out to be enjoyable experiences, and the strangers eventually became my friends and then, in a way, a family. Toastmasters has helped me improve my own personal and professional growth, and I want to give back and help others with their personal-professional goals. While being involved in leadership roles, I had the privilege to see the incremental, yet inspiring growth of other individuals and clubs week after week. I genuinely enjoy seeing others grow and improve over time and then become comfortable with the uncomfortable.
Toastmasters is a safe haven for the Women of Success and we pride ourselves on being active Toastmaster International members. In following the education program set forth by Toastmasters International we, as a club and individually, have learned to better communicate, how to present ourselves in a professional manner, and how to conduct ourselves in a public speaking forum. We will continue moving forward on the Pathways education program and look forward to competing again in the near future.
