Yesterday was a great day. I joined Toastmasters last week and attended my second meeting. Listening to the other speakers, not only helped me in gaining an understanding of how to be a better speaker, I actually learned something new on topics that they mentioned. Stepping up and helping out assists you to learn and grow. Several years ago, I could not have imagined myself doing any type of public speaking. I also learned that some of the speakers who are in my group are business leaders in the community. Asking, questions and listening is another way to learn something new. People like it when you show an interest in what they do. There are people who need assistance.
