As a dedicated Toastmaster and an Executive Member serving as VP of Public Relations for the Scarlet Speakers Toastmasters Club, it is my pleasure to share some insights about our club meetings and the numerous advantages they offer.
1. First and foremost thing is skill :
There is abundant knowledge on communication skills and leadership skills that are available on YouTube,Google, and books. But the knowledge we get out of looking at videos in YouTube, content on websites, and books will vanish so easily because it is not practiced by you ( Knowledge that is only practiced is called a skill, which will not vanish, and last forever )
I think that Toastmasters Club is a platform that will develop skills by making you practice or experiment with two things
1. Knowledge you have already
2. Knowledge you get from fellow Toastmasters
2. The second most important thing is that every role is created for a purpose :
Changes in thought process are something that you don’t get from even education, qualification, or anyone else. There are many roles in Toastmasters which I have played almost in recent Months,
Every role is created for a special purpose. It can be Evaluator, Table topic master, or Grammarian ,Listener , Also when you prepare for a speech, you will come to know how good you are at writing the content, and how good you are
at humor. In a shell, it will take the best out of you
3. The Third Most important thing is Learning by sharing
Whenever I attend Toastmasters meetings, I learn a lot of new things from fellow Toastmasters’ speeches and experiences which are shared in Toastmasters Club Meetings.
4. The Fourth Most important thing is Appreciation and Motivation :
For every speech and every role I take up, every Toastmaster would appreciate me, regardless of how I perform. Another thing is that I began appreciating every toastmaster and friend, and the appreciation became my habit in my personal life.
5. Perception Vs Reality :
I had joined Toastmasters to learn communication skills, but it is beyond communication. It is something that has made cultural changes and even the habit of speaking. I still remember that Iwas focusing on sentences or the English language when I was delivering my first speech. But now I focus below things in every speech
Stage usage
Where to apply Pauses
How to communicate a Powerful Message
Right Pronunciation
Face expression
Vocabulary
6. Quality Feedback :
No one in this world would listen to your
speech and provide sincere and true feedback except Toastmasters. There are two advantages of getting such feedback,
Firstly I came to know what is my strengths which would motivate me.
Secondly, I came to know where I wanted to improve which would help for further improvement
We look forward to seeing your leadership shine! 🌟
