Sometimes people go through phases during their lives where they step back and take a break from their regular routine. After serving as Club President, I decided to take a breather from Toastmasters. The reasons for my sabbatical have more to do with events in my personal and professional life rather than with the Royal Speakeasy Toastmasters Club.
After attending today's meeting, I realized two things. Firstly, our club meetings are as enjoyable as ever. Secondly, even as I spoke, I realized I was already a little rusty when it came to my turn to provide an evaluation during Table Topics. Public speaking is a skill that can be maintained and improved only through practice.
If you are a former member of Toastmasters - why not drop by again? You'll be warmly greeted by familiar faces and new faces. Most importantly, you'll be pleasantly surprised to note that there is always something to be learned at a Toastmasters meeting.
