Lyn Nadarajan Every Opportunity To Speak is a Privilege to be Relished Toastmasters gives you the platform absolutely free to rehearse from a novice speaker to an expert to learn, practice and grow in a very cohesive environment. I believe this is the safest place to make mistakes, as we all have grown up from infancy of Public Speaking. Toastmasters, you must grab every opportunity to speak and not shy away. Mastering Public speaking is like learning swimming, unless you shun the fear and take dip in the deep, I am afraid you’ll not succeed. So toastmasters, when your name is called next time take it as a privilege, Not as ‘I have to do it’ but as ‘I get to do it’.
