Project Planning!

This week I spoke about project planning at our Toastmaster meeting. The fun part is that I spoke off the cuff!!! I was thinking about it for a couple of minutes into the meeting and spoke for 5-7 minutes and got great feedback as well. The thing that I am happy about is that I remember the first time I spoke at Toastmasters, I could not peel my eyes off of the paper I was reading from... and a year and half later I collect my thoughts and am able to give a speech that is well received by an audience! This is the charm of being here every week. Gurpreet TM member at Early Words

What a day in Toastmasters

Today's meeting was a great example of what a Toastmasters meeting has to offer. We heard an educational speech on how to organize your speech. We heard a rehearsal speech for professional presentation to be given before a group of small business professionals. And we heard the following speech about growing up in Igloo, South Dakota. All this and more for only $12.00 per month.
