Oral communication skills count” – Tom Peters This is the time of the year when people make resolutions. Reviewing the months that had passed, many would begin to utter the wishes of their heart, that dreams may somehow draw a little closer to reality in the coming year. Whether is it to lose weight, to be richer, fitter or smarter, etc, these hopes represent our inner longing for something we have but yet to achieve. Now having a wish or a hope is good. They help inspire us to greater heights. However, what we do not want is to find ourselves wishing for the same thing year after year without the ability to confidently say we are getting closer. Take public speaking for example. Many people I spoke to have communicated this area as an important area of development that they hope to improve on because of the impact it has both in professional and personal terms. In this day and age, good communication skills dictate promotability at work. Good oratorical skills correlate to confidence and trust. However without a concrete plan, all the hope we can utter cannot help us forward because Hope is not a strategy. Hope is never a strategy. What is needed is a concrete plan that guides us towards our dreams, and a discipline to see it followed through. That’s where Toastmasters International comes in. At Toastmasters International, we provide an environment to nurture public speaking skills. Since 1924, more than 4 million people around the world have become more confident speakers and leaders because of their participation in Toastmasters. The learn-by-doing approach to chapter meetings help members hone their speaking and listening skills. Through a structured program guided by project manuals and supported by a system of evaluators, Toastmasters International has proven to be a world leader in communication and leadership development. So, if you are keen to polish your oratorical skills, if you have identified public speaking as an area for improvement in 2012, wait no further. I encourage you to visit a Toastmasters Club right away. Take action! At Lion City Toastmasters Club, our members are represented by more than 7 nationalities from various professions. Our history of grooming competent speakers is evident from awards received. Let us help translate your hope for better speaking into concrete plans of growth. Make 2012 a year that counts. I look forward to seeing you at our meetings. View Our Past Meetings Photos Here: |
