Toastmasters’, an everlasting<br />
experience that we cannot decline<br />
Toastmasters is an International club operating around the continents which provide an<br />
experience of Public speaking skills. This we cannot learn anywhere else around the globe,<br />
other than Toastmasters.<br />
First when I heard of Toastmasters, unlike most Gavelliers I was very excited and could not<br />
wait until I joined. There were many reasons.<br />
1. Because I needed to develop my speaking skills, so I would not be humiliated, every<br />
time I am called to speak on a topic.<br />
2. I wanted to show my fellow classmates that I had taken a new beginning, since I faced<br />
many problems.<br />
All these problems were solved very quickly with the help of the Toastmasters and the<br />
enthusiastic, helpful Gavelliers. They made me open the door of Success.<br />
During the weekly sessions, we go through 3 segments.<br />
• It is an impromptu speaking within a period of 1 to 2.5 minutes. It helps the Gavelliers<br />
to instantly develop and deliver a mini speech.<br />
• Secondly we have prepared speeches. It is speeches prepared by Gavelliers and<br />
presented in front of eager Gavelliers, so they too can learn and develop speaking skills.<br />
• Finally, we have evaluation, it is where Gavelliers learn their weak points and try and<br />
develop them, encouraging to do better the next time.<br />
In my opinion, there is no better place than Toastmasters to learn leadership and speaking<br />
skills. So I encourage many guests to have the feeling of the everlasting experience and I hope<br />
that you Gavelliers do too.<br />
I hope you good luck and invite you to join me in this everlasting journey.<br />
