      anyway. In 2018, I finally

      figured out what the

      Raynette: Many think
      Toastmasters is about

      speaking—but not for

      listening. Rather than
      thinking about what I am

      going to say, I listen to                               and not to do, what works and what doesn’t.
      what the person is saying. Ted told me years            I write emails for my job. We all do because
      ago, if you listen to what they’re saying, you          that’s part of our communication now.

      It’s to become a better listener. Evaluating            the whole package. It’s a way of life.
      helps me do that. I’m learning what to do
