  • Would you like to improve your communication and public speaking skills?
  • Worried about your next big presentation?
  • How confident are you?

 Do butterflies attack your stomach whenever your asked to speak before a group? Can you confidentally express your thoughts and ideas? Do you have the nerve to ask your boss for a raise? People who get ahead in life are those that who can communicate effectively. Wouldn’t you like to develop this priceless skill? Now you can!

These are some excerpts from some of the Toastmasters promotional material. I have been a member of Sunrisers Toastmasters in Nanaimo for about 1.5 years and can easily say that all of the above is true. Being in sales I have done many presentations over the years. I always thought I did a fairly good job at them prior to joining Toastmasters. I now know my presentations and public speaking skills have improved many many times over. When I started I used to say “umm” and “ahhh” a lot and never realized it. I now can easily get through a speech or presentation with ever saying “umm” or “ahhh” once. There are many other improvements I have noticed. I’ll update you with more on a future post.
