Last week I joined a local Toastmaster group after visiting few times over the holidays. For anyone who doesn't know, Toastmasters is a worldwide membership organization with the stated purpose of helping people learn public speaking. Several friends who are members have talked about how the group has helped them do just that, even leading to invitations to speaking at events and meetings.
There are ten projects, speeches, members are required to present in order to receive one of two recognitions: Competent Communicator. Appropriately the first one is the Ice Breaker, an introduction of oneself to the club.
By early March I need to figure out what to say. The first step may be to hit YouTube and see how other folks have handled it.
