Great example on the topic of speaking. I love the points and will take them to heart when I prepare for my next speech. I have read and know the importance of preparing. Because the time to fix the roof when its not raining.

I have been a Toastmaster since 2007 and I really love the fried chicken analogy. Simply awesome and so on point. Super!

Wow! I have been in Toastmasters for 15 years, and never heard it described like fired chicken. I like it

I never used to have trouble speaking to groups. Then I spent 10 years locked away in cubes with limited interactions, and somehow that changed. I think you are right, in that repetition is needed, but also, recent repetition. After getting back in to the groove I was succressful at talking during my last users group. The best part? I saved myself about 500 gray hairs by not being so stressed out leading up to my presentation

Very well put. Toastmasters really can improve your public speaking ability, etc., and that can radically impact your self confidence and, in a real sense, your life. I invite you to check out a brief video for some anecdotal evidence — ahamoment.com/pg/moments/view/4453 — it’s one woman’s “aha moment” that led her to join Toastmasters and how it greatly impacted her life. I hope you enjoy it, as well as the rest of the site, which was created by Mutual of Omaha to highlight inspirational stories and “aha moments” of all kinds.

Thanks,
