As an Upper Cervical Chiropractor, Toastmasters provides me with the safe and supportive environment to improve my communication and leadership skills. I am thankful to be growing through Toastmasters as I am recent graduate, working as an Associate Doctor at Upper Cervical Centers (Cedar Falls), and gaining the tips, tools, and strategies to be an effective communicator of Chiropractic to my community and the world. 

I have only been in Toastmasters a short time (in fact, I just officially paid my dues). I like the fact that people from different backgrounds come together once a week with the intention of bettering themselves. Pathways is particularly exciting to me because it allows me to pursue the idea of Public Speaking as an income stream and to add credibility to my future goals. 

Toastmasters is about discovery. Who are you? What do you really want? What is the best way to go about getting the life that makes you happiest? Once this is mapped in your mind, Toastmasters gently, with love and affection, mentor you on your journey. In the meantime you will meet people so amazing that just knowing them will change your life forever. That is what Toastmasters has done for me. 

Why I love Toastmasters? I love Toastmasters because hands down it is the single best encouraging organization I have ever come across to attribute my consistent personal and professional growth.  I have been able to bust through glass ceiling after glass ceiling due to the tools I have acquired right here in my own back yard.  It is the single greatest investment I have ever made in myself, Theresa Mickelson, Club Growth Director – 3rd ranking officer in Toastmasters International District 19.  AND, the greatest news is, it is available for you, too.  Come join us, have fun and become a better you!

I am a recent immigrant from Jamaica to the USA. I found that Americans had difficulty understanding my accent. Toastmaster challenges me to listen to American presenters and develop and make concise presentations. The feedback that I receive from club members has had significant impact on building my confidence as a presenter and leader. This is why I love Toastmasters.
