Toastmasters also is for professional speakers, like NSA members

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The January/February 2021 issue of Speaker (the magazine of the U.S. National Speakers Association) has a complimentary article by Dave Bricker on pages 14 to 19 titled Toastmasters for professional speakers? He opens by asking:

 

“Why would a professional speaker be interested in Toastmasters? Isn’t Toastmasters for amateurs who are struggling with stage fright?”

 

Then he presents statements from NSA members who also are in Toastmasters: Patricia Fripp, Ed Tate, Darren LaCroix, Jean Moroney, and Lee Robert (daughter if NSA founder Cavett Robert).

 

Cartoons of a loveable female and charismatic male speaker came from Wikimedia Commons.
