Booked first speaking gig after 7 years of hesitation
After seven years in Toastmasters without taking the next step, Christine found the confidence to pursue speaking opportunities. She booked her first gig with a local Rotary club, finally launching the speaking career she'd long dreamed of.
I wanted to be a speaker, belong to Toastmaster for 7 years. Never took the next step.
I began to feel more motivated to move forward with a speaking career.
I am more confident and began reaching out for speaking oppurtuinits in my community. I have booked a gig with the local Rotary. It is free, and it is a start.
