Communication and Leadership Goals

What objectives do you hope to accomplish as a member of Chats Toastmasters?

To grow personally and professionally, and to specifically develop better speaking and presentation skills.

 

To network with other professionals and speakers.

 
Is public speaking a requirement of your job or profession?
Yes

How would you describe your current skill level as a speaker? 
On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd rate myself a 3-4.  I've done a lot of speaking, but I need a lot more practice.

Do you have any specific fears relative to public speaking?

Confident, directed, rough - needs refining and training. Normal butterflies :-)

- I am an ordained Minister, & lead a Men's Family Bible Study with the mission to strengthen marriages by encouraging men to be the best Husband and Fathers and Business/Community leaders they can be
