Wired Presentations

I am seriously considering going back to Toastmasters, but I can’t make myself attend a meeting and write the check. I think that the reason for this is that I haven’t discovered that compelling reason.

I was a member of Toastmasters for over 4 years. I was the president of our club (10/10 on the DCP scale – not that that matters) and filled-in as an area governor for a few months. Toastmasters was a big part of my life. I was into it.

During that time I became a technical trainer. I was speaking to in-person audiences or remote audiences on a weekly basis. Practicing, and honing, my presentation skills became my life at work. I no longer needed Toastmasters so we slowly parted ways.

I still speak a great deal but it isn’t a weekly event for me. I could use the practice. But I have friends that I can practice with so I don’t believe that is the compelling reason to rejoin. Although, perhaps you can make the argument better than I can.

That’s where you come in: Convince me to attend a meeting and write a check! Use the comments to post your reasons. Don’t worry if someone else has given the same one. This is a quantity game and I want to hear from you.

Help me out! Convince me!
