That sounds great! I’ve always been interested in Toastmasters, but I get really nervous standing in front of people. I’m always afraid I’ll ramble (which I’ve done in front of an entire congregation before as a teenager and resulted in me crying in front of them all and never finishing.) It’s just embarrassing. When I do have to talk in front of large groups, I get dry mouth, shaky, etc, but I think something like Toastmasters is a great way to overcome those things. Now if only I could commit to going.
Most of my “public speaking” isn’t live. It’s via the web to millions of people on a daily basis, but since I don’t see them, I’m not nervous about it, though I am careful to construct what I’m saying with great care.
I’ve been lucky that a passion of mine became a career. (I’m a writer and am part of a team that manages a global community of people.) I just know I can take it much farther.
Anyway, congratulations!
