Words Have Power So as Toastmasters.
By Ruddra Dev Roychoudhury , TCS Maitree Kolkata Toastmasters Club
Words are very powerful
when used in the right way.
It is a very powerful skill to
have no matter what career
you choose. It is said, that
your professional growth
increases five-fold, if you
learn public speaking. Apart
from career growth, your
relationships get better with
open communication, you
make friends easily, and
people always remember
you as a pleasant person.
Leadership helps shape how
the world sees you. Things
that seemed impossible
previously now became easy
to do.
Over 7 out of 10 people in
this world are afraid of
public speaking. So if you
take care of your fear, you
are already on the top 3. If
you are an effective
Communicator, you just
knocked another guy
behind. Even rare are good
leaders. Most of the time,
they can be found to be in
the top 1 percent.
Here at Toastmasters, we
aim to make better leaders
and communicators. And to
keep to the spirit of making
leaders, we do not follow
any instructor led trainings.
We encourage leaders
among ourselves to take up
the responsibility of leading
the change among others.
Over time, that makes
people stronger in all skills related for
Communication.
To grow, Toastmasters take up a lot of
leadership roles, under the mentorship of more senior Toastmasters.
We have the Sergeant-At-Arms who
is responsible for the logistics, and
starting the session. Taking up this
role is easy, but it does wonders to
your self-confidence as you are the
first person to speak in a session for a
minimum of 6 months.
Next comes the Treasurer. They are
the finance managers of the club.
The Secretary keeps all the club and
session information in order, and
archives them for future reference.
Vice President Membership is like the
scouts for a football team.
