_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Occupation and Employer: 
Self Employed;  Teaching/Writing


Accomplishments and Interests:
Dr. of Metaphysics; Ordained Minister; Reiki Master. I am also a computer "nerd", i.e. I can troubleshoot and fix most computer issues as well as write custom software; maintain web sites, etc.

.
Personal and Career Goals: 
To raise the consciousness of the planet one community at a time, one person at a time.  I would like to teach as many people as I can how to meditate and how when meditation becomes part of a life-style, life flows much smoother.  I am also recording meditations and plan to release some of them this year as downloads and on CDs.  I have some workshops completed and some "in the works" which I would like to facilitate later in the year as well as build my Spiritual Counseling practice.

What objectives do you hope to accomplish as a member of Chats Toastmasters?
I intend to learn how to better plan, organize, and deliver a variety of speeches.  I would like to become proficient in each of the functionary roles.  I would like to learn the different types of speeches and become proficient in all of them.

Is public speaking a requirement of your job or profession?
Not at the moment; however, soon I will be leading workshops and teaching to larger groups.

How would you describe your current skill level as a speaker?
My current skill level as a speaker... hmmmm, I am not sure how to rate this one - I think if 1 was "better find a different profession" and 10 was excellent, I would place my self at maybe a 6.

Do you have any specific fears relative to public speaking?
Fears? Not that I can think of...

Why did you choose to join Chats Toastmasters?
Recommended by Linda Costello. I really enjoy the structure and friendliness within the group - even though I have not been a member very long, it feels like family.


What can Chats Toastmasters do to help you accomplish your goals?
CHATS can help me by providing opportunity to experience the different functional roles as well as giving me feedback - honest feedback when I perform my speeches.

 

Tell the group anything else that you’d like us to know about you!
I am an avid golfer.  I enjoy learning new things and helping others help themselves.
