Toastmasters Teaches Public Speaking Skills in Hendersonville, North Carolina

     I joined Winter Park Toastmasters in Florida when I was a young man.  I had read and studied "How To Be Successful"  books enough to understand that public speaking skill was a fast track to making more money.  https://winterparktoastmasters.toastmastersclubs.org/

     At the time, I had just left my first "real job" after college as an automobile salesman.  I had just graduated from real estate school.

     Selling real estate is about doing excellent presentations.  No one told me that learning to be a good public speaker will make you better at one on one presentations.  It will.

Enhance your career.  Join Toastmasters 
     With in four years, I was working for a real estate franchise as a sales trainer.  Everything I learned at Toastmasters enhanced my career, boosted my confidence and raised my income.   https://www.toastmasters.org/   If you are interested in advancing your career, you can find very few skills that will enhance your paycheck faster than learning to be an excellent public speaker.  You will find no avenue that will make you an excellent public speaker better than joining your local Toastmaster club.

     Flashback in time.  As I looked at Winter Park Toastmasters website page (link above) for the first time in my life two minutes ago, I saw Blake Smith and Andy Brown in a picture of  "Distinguished Toastmasters" in their club.  When Blake joined Winter Park Toastmasters in the early ninties, he was a termite inspector.  Why would a termite inspector need public speaking skill?  In Toastmasters he met, Kim Glaner that worked for Motorola.  Now, Blake is an executive at Motorola.  Also in that picture is Andy Brown, the head instructor at the biggest best real estate school in Florida.  I know that the groundwork for both those careers was created at Toastmasters.

     Maybe weekly Toastmaster meetings are not the best way for you to learn to be a good public speaker.  http://fourseasonstoastmasters.com/    If you think it might be and if you live anywhere near Hendersonville, North Carolina, join us on Wednesday morning at eight.  You can spend the results.

The Easy Way To Learn Presentation Skills in Hendersonville, North Carolina

     Good public speaking skills will do more good for your career than any other single skill that you can learn.  The ability to speak to a group from a podium is not hard to learn.

     Most people spend their entire career with a fear and no experience in public speaking.  I believe that this is true because most people have no idea what a valuable skill public speaking is.

     Fear of public speaking is the number one fear in America.  One reason this is true is because most people have zero experience with standing in front of a small group of people and speaking to them.  All of their fear comes from their imagination.

     Many people imagine that the audience will not like me.  They imagine that the audience will not smile at me.  They imagine that the audience won't accept me.  All of this is in their imagination, not reality.  They have no experience to verify or disprove their imaginary experience.
Public Speaking Skills will enhance your career 

     Wouldn't it be great if there were a venue where a rookie speaker or a speaker wannabe could get experience and training in a safe, comfortable environment?   If there were such a place, would you be interested in learning to be an excellent speaker?

     There is such a place.  It is your local Toastmasters club.  www.toastmasters.org   There is a Toastmasters club in your city.  Why should you join?  Why indeed?   You should join because the only purpose of Toastmasters is to teach their members speaking and leadership skills.  It is not a class that you take over six weeks.  It is a club you can participate in for as long as it benefits you.  I have been a member for twenty eight years.  The dues are $120 per year.  The return on your investment is ten thousand per cent.

     If you spent a couple of years in a Toastmasters club, you would develop extraordinary speaking skills.  What could you do with that skill?  I can tell you what I did with it.  After four years in Toastmasters, I tripled my income.  I never went back to my old mediocre income.  Today, I earn my living standing in front of a room teaching people to change their life.  www.firstrealestateschool.com    Joining Toastmasters was a good decision for me.  Joining Toastmasters would be a good decision for you.

Toastmasters, One Thing You Will Surely Learn There

     Toastmasters is a club created in 1927  to help people learn to speak better in public.  I often hear amateur speakers that sorely need to improve their public speaking skills.  I hear them at different functions where they have been invited to speak.  Almost always, they are there to promote some product or service that they represent.

     The number one, first, foremost mistake that these amateur speakers make is to talk longer than they have been invited to talk.  The leader or sales manager asked them to speak for five minutes.  They talked for twelve minutes.  That may not seem like a big deal.  It is a big deal.  It is the kind of thing that causes that person to NOT be invited back.  Mr. Sales Manager has an agenda.  He has allocated five minutes for Mr. Promoter.  When Mr. Promoter drones on for twelve minutes, something else has to be cut short or the meeting has to run overtime.

     This is just one of a dozen mistakes that I witness amateur speakers make at meetings all the time.  These people don't seem to realize that increasing their skill at presenting will increase their income.  Doing what they are doing works reasonably well.  Why do they need to improve?   $$$$$$$$$$ is the answer. 

     Where can a person go to increase their public speaking skills?  In Hendersonville, North Carolina anyone can visit Four Season Toastmasters.  Four Season Toastmasters is a club designed to make you a better speaker and a better leader. These are two skills that will quickly turn into money . http://fourseasonstoastmasters.com/   

     One thing that you will learn at Toastmasters is to speak as long as you said you were going to, not longer.  No one wants to hear you speak for ten minutes when they were expecting a five minute talk.  The sales manager that invited you to his thirty minute sales meeting  certainly does not want a surprise.

     This is one of a hundred skills and lessons that you will learn at Toastmasters.  Many people come to Toastmasters because they have a fear of public speaking.  Many more people come to increase their skill.  There is no easier way to increase your public speaking skill that a visit to your local Toastmaster club.
