Communication and Leadership Goals

What objectives do you hope to accomplish as a member of Chats Toastmasters?
To initiate the “Most Improved at Table Topics Award” so that I can win something finally.

Is public speaking a requirement of your job or profession?
Obviously this is a trick question.

How would you describe your current skill level as a speaker?
On a good day……..challenged.  On a bad day…….why even go there.

Do you have any specific fears relative to public speaking?
Looking bad is apparently not one of them.

Why did you choose to join Chats Toastmasters?
I’m otherwise so perfect, that I like to humble myself by standing up and stammering in front of a group of people for 5-7 minutes every week. Plus, Bob Buersmeyer is too afraid to show up alone.

What can Chats Toastmasters do to help you accomplish your goals?
Shoot me so that you put me out of my misery.
