This past Sunday I realized one of the many ways my Toastmasters training comes in handy. In this video, you’ll see how the hostess of the party invites each person in attendance to light a candle and “tell the birthday girl why you’re glad she was born.”
None of us was prepared for this speech, including me. However, thanks to my many hours of training in Toastmasters, I have improved my impromptu speaking skills.
Toastmasters helps you to think on your feet and teaches you skills like vocal variety, body language and storytelling. After I told Tina why I’m glad she was born, someone said “good speech”. I simply held my hands out, shrugged my shoulders and replied, “Toastmasters!”
Toastmasters is an International organization. Find out more on their website.
