The reason why I like Toastmasters is because it helps you to be more mindful of your speaking allowing you to become more aware of what is and what is not proper when engaged in a conversation.  But most importantly, you develop new relationships. 

Toastmasters have provided me with more than just an opportunity to hone my skills as a public speaker.  It has given me insight in to how the organization has impacted the people it touches and how it really changes people’s lives.  To me, that is a bigger drawing force than improving myself as a professional. 

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!

Toastmasters for me provide an intentional way to push and expand myself to be the best me, in a fun, manageable, goal oriented environment filled with incomparable support! 

Toastmasters have helped me to better organize my thoughts and speak confidently in high stress situations and in public. I also like having the “safe space” to give and receive feedback as that helps both the giver of the feedback and the receiver of the feedback learn and grow.
