I attended my first meeting on Monday. I'm sad to say I was rather disappointed. My gut reaction was this isn't for me. For a club it felt overly structured and regimented. Every minute of the meeting was scheduled. It lacked spontaneity. Although there was time for you to speak, there was little back and forth communication. It was all business. I guess this was typical meeting. I don't know if I'll go back.

I was in Toastmasters when I was working as an Operations Manager for Staples. I was brought in to give an off-the-cuff speach once and blew corporate away so much that they tried to offer me a job speaking for Human Resources. Sadly it involved traveling and moving and at the time it wasn't a possibility with my family.

The whole structure and regiment thing is part of what you need to learn to be a good public speaker. Staying on schedule, not speaking out of turn and only when you have the floor, not going over your allotted time, etc. are very important traits to hone in order to have good public discourse. |
