Introduction:
Toastmasters continues to provide us with countless opportunites to improve – not only on our leadership and presentation skills, but also on other skills necessary for our personal lives.
The more you do something the easier it gets. Don’t expect it to get easier, if you’re not putting in the time and energy to make that happen. — Akiroq Brost.
How true is that statement – so if you find that I am in your face – don’t get angry with me – am just trying to be proficient.
