Being an outgoing personality I, loved doing sports and outdoor extra-curricular activities but was never a person who liked to speak in public. I had the nick of speaking English fluently but that was never an encouraging factor for me to speak in public.
This public speaking fear I carried along to my professional career where I use to get stuck during client conference discussions even when the discussion is on my area of expertise.
This is where my mother inquired on me asking, “Why didn’t you join Toastmasters? You are always complaining people can’t understand what you talk. So why not give this a try?” I was clueless what toastmasters was and asked which company is that? This is where my mother informed that my elder brother has joined this club and it is all about effective communication and leadership.
One day I was invited and I am privileged to join Awakening Toastmasters. I was very impressed how people in toastmasters encourage people to speak and how bad the speaker spoke still encourage the speaker to do his best in the upcoming projects. last but least Toastmasters is the only place where I feel where you build public speaking, Communication, Friends, Leadership and most importantly Time management to be a confident person in life.
