What's this?

I think it gives confidence as much as anything

I have spoken to a four figure crowd and was certainly nervous, but worked my way through it. No way toastmasters would have helped me in that situation, but I did go to a class and see where others would like it, but I already spoke in front of enough folks I did not pursue it.

Anyone here ever done Toastmasters? Was it beneficial? A waste of time? -- Hurley09 05/05/2021 5:58PM

By virtue of the fact Toastmasters gets you used to speaking to groups-> -- HOKIERIT 05/05/2021 8:03PM

If you can't talk to a crowd or have no speaking training then great! ** -- UTPr0sim 05/05/2021 6:54PM

I have not but many of my former work colleagues did & found it beneficial. -- BusLoadaBozos 05/05/2021 6:52PM

I did it for a few years back in the '80s. I thought it was very helpful. ** -- El Paso Hokie 05/05/2021 6:49PM
