BeGes President’s Newsletter September 2017
The summer is over, it's time to get back to world. We've been on vacation and other aspects of life may have come up that's kept us from coming to our BeGes meetings.
It's common, at this time, to question whether to keep going to Toastmasters. Maybe we're forgotten how much fun they are. Maybe we have gained skill from answering enough Table Topics questions to think we don't need to do any more speeches.
We've attained our initial goal of overcoming of discomfort with speaking in public, so why renew our dues? Here's the thing -
There's levels of mastery and leadership to strive for, that we didn't even know when starting at BeGes. Toastmasters is so much more than just speeches. There are great things to learn going through the Competent Leadership Manual - you get credit for every role you sign up for from Timer to Toastmaster.
There's a great article on Leadership in the September TM magazine, "Leadership, It's Not About You" which clearly illustrates what you learn at Toastmasters beyond just speaking contributes to your success in all aspects of your life!
