Toastmasters

Toastmasters International is a nonprofit organization with nearly 235,000 members in 11,700 clubs in 92 countries, offering a proven – and enjoyable – way to practice and hone communication and leadership skills. Each speech and meeting is critiqued by a member in a positive manner, focusing on what was done right and what could be improved.

On October 1, 2008, I joined the Trailblazers Toastmasters Club that meets at 7:30 a.m. two Wednesdays a month in Orlando to sharpen my public speaking skills - desiring to be a more effective ambassador for Christ. My icebreaker/introductory speech was presented on October 29th, “Cloudy Challenges Have Silver Linings.”
