Iâm not an exceptionally 3talented orator, but Iâve been able to see a marked difference in my own 4progress as a speaker. Toastmasters has been a place where I can practice those 5skills among peers who share the same goals in an environment conducive to 6learning and experimentation.</p> <p>I have been a member of <a href="https://www.toastmasters.org/Find-a-Club/04528013-mountain-view-toastmasters" rel="nofollow">Mountain View Toastmasters (MVTM)</a> since the 7winter of 2019, and am the club secretary for the current term. Iâm working on a 8Pathway on Innovative Planning â a series of projects that exercises the skills 9needed for public speaking and leadership. This blog post is spurred by an 10elective project called <em>Write a Compelling Blog</em>. I chose to do this project 11because it aligns closely with my goals and interests this year. Perhaps this is 12the catalyst to kick off my dreams of being a prolific blog author.</p> <p>This series of posts will be a broad slice of my Toastmasters experience. In no 13particular order, here are some of the topics that Iâd like to write about:</p> <ul><li>Functionary roles and their purpose</li> <li>Being a Toastmaster at MVTM</li> <li>Writing a speech script</li> <li>Practicing a speech from an outline</li> <li>Writing and rewriting a speech</li> <li>Giving evaluations</li> <li>An overview of my Pathway progress so far</li> <li>Taking notes and my process as Secretary</li></ul> <p>I look forward to a fresh perspective on my old documents and recordings, as 14well as the time to crystalize ideas onto digital paper. I hope youâll find 15these posts worth the few minutes to read through. Make sure to check out <a href="/toastmasters">my 16page for Toastmaster related things</a>!
