Focusing on the Goal

When I first joined Toastmasters, I didn't have a clear goal in mind. I was often guided by mentors who saw the way to go more clearly than I did.

Putting things in focus: Now, I know why I’m a Toastmaster — what I want to get out of it, and more important, what I want to put into it. I want to be a better speaker and a better leader — and to help others to do the same.

"For me, Toastmasters is about being engaged, helping others, sharing knowledge and making a difference."
