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!

Where else in my world could I find that little bit of magic experienced in a weekly Toastmaster gathering?  We share the fun of learning about each other and the world we live in; there’s no place like it. 

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. 

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! 

As an introvert, I like to just sit and listen, or go somewhere quiet and read a book. It’s easier, and feels safer. But because of my experience in Toastmasters, I can speak with confidence when I do get up in front of people, and I know I communicate effectively and that I continue to improve.
