I am a member of Toastmasters, an International club whose focus is to help members find comfort in public speaking, and "public" can be friends at a dinner party, not necessarily a large crowd. I joined to help me with my passion as a Radical Forgiveness Workshop Leader and coach so that I could find ease in front of a group as well as interfacing often with clients and associates in real estate. It has been fantastic! I can even tell a joke now without giving away the punch-line before reaching the end of the joke. I have also met some great new people which has been fun since Truckee is such a small town, I used to think I knew everyone. Not so!
Toastmasters is sponsoring a wonderful community project to assist people who are out of work, in learning how to get through the interview process comfortably (or as comfortably as possible). I am hopeful that with this outreach, we will be able to see some folks successfully speak about themselves and their personal assets which could benefit an employer.
