I joined Fairleigh Early Birds because I had
missed out on a great job. I was bored with my job and looking for
something more challenging and with better pay. The interview was
going well until they asked me if I had any presentation experience.
I felt my heart start to pound. I'm sure I went from looking
comfortable to looking like I'd seen a ghost. I didn't get the job. I
thought about it, and decided I would be ready the next time a job in
that company became available. I joined Toastmasters.

To make a very convoluted story short and simple, after joining Fairleigh
Early Birds, I discovered I didn't want to change my job! The challenge I
enjoyed was learning to speak in in front of a group of people. The
excitement I experienced in club meetings transferred to my job and
other parts of my life.

When my son was young, we had communication problems. As I learned to
listen better in Toastmasters, I started hearing what he was saying
as opposed to how he was saying it. I learned to speak to him in a
way he could hear and accept from me. We stopped "butting heads" all
the time. I will always be grateful to this Toastmasters club for
that. You may not have the same experience, but you will benefit from
Toastmasters in ways you cannot imagine!
