"After giving my 10th speech, I was asked to repeat the speech to my work team. At first I felt unprepared to give a speech outside of the Toastmaster's group. Little did I know how prepared I was. I knew that I needed a lectern, and to set the lectern and seating so that no one was behind me. The room set up was a concern that I wouldn't have thought of, if I hadn't joined. I knew to make sure the facilitator had an introduction, the title of my speech, and how long I would be speaking. (I missed having those lights to help me out.) Toastmasters has given me the confidence I needed to speak to a variety of audiences and to prepare the speech based on the audience. I'll never regret my decision to be a part of this wonderful group."
