Develop Confidence At Toastmasters!
MOST EVERYONE is afraid of public
speaking. In poll after poll, "public speaking" comes up as more feared
than "death." Public speaking is the nation's #1 fear.
You are no different. Even if you think you're really good at
speaking, there will come times when your heart stops and your palms sweat
and you freeze before an audience.
Toastmasters can help!
Remember that EVERYONE in a Toastmasters club is there
because at some point they realized they needed help communicating and
speaking before audiences. Almost everyone will remember how wretched they
felt when they gave their first speech. You may be startled to find out
how supportive a Toastmasters club really can be.
If you're aware how nervous you are but aren't convinced that you
should do anything about it, stop and think what skill is more important
than any other when it comes to getting and keeping a good job?
Think you're already an excellent speaker? People who think they're
really good sometimes come into Toastmasters and find out how unstructured
and sloppy they really are. Being comfortable doesn't mean that you're
actually GOOD. Even if you ARE good, you can always get better.
Toastmasters can give you a lot of skills and keep good speakers
improving.
