How do you use your
Toastmasters skills outside
your meetings?
As a co-chair in Willamette
Writers, I introduce speakers once
a month at our meetings. I do a lot
less stumbling over my words now!
I also feel less anxious meeting
new people and dealing with social
gatherings.
illustration. Luckily, my husband
is good at video editing.
What inspires you?
I have some really great
mentors who check in with
me and encourage me. It is so
valuable to have someone to turn
to when I have questions or feel
overwhelmed. Sometimes creative
work can be discouraging. It’s good
to not be alone on the journey.
What brought you to
Toastmasters?
My dad is in Toastmasters, and
originally he suggested it would
be good for my oldest son. I came along to the
meetings as well, and I thought it would be a
good thing for me, too.
