Hone Your Message!

In the right setting, I can be quite talkative. I was the kid that had excellent grades, but seemed to always garner a check minus or talks excessively for conduct. Speaking confidently has always been an ease for me. For this reason and among others, I consider myself a natural leader.

Speaking in general is one thing, but delivering an impromptu, featured or keynote message is another.

I recently had the pleasure of attending my first Toastmasters International Communications Workshop: Hone Your Message.

During the 7 hour workshop, I prepared, practiced and honed my high impact message, A Better YOU! Mind, Body & Spirit. I learned excellent speakers excel in confidence, organization, clarity, vocal variety, eye contact, gestures, audience awareness, comfort level, time management, providing interesting content, connecting with and being well supported by their audience and accepting constructive criticism from their coaches.

It was awesome to receive fantastic feedback and be supported by a group of experienced coaches and Toastmasters who assured I had an outstanding experience. 

Since 1924, Toastmasters International has helped people from diverse backgrounds become more confident speakers, communicators and leaders. http://www.toastmasters.org/about/all-about-toastmasters

My message was so impactful; I was invited to speak on Revel Coach’s Inspiration Platform. The platform is designed to create a community of women who want to inspire and be inspired. http://www.revelcoach.com

Until next time……

  1. Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a comment.

    Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t mind me asking what theme you’re using?
    (and don’t mind if I steal it? :P)

    I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours– but the theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.

    In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for
    “royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate any feedback) – it’s still
    in the works.

    Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care of yourself during the coronavirus scare!

  2. Thanks for this article. I will also like to say that it can always be hard if you find yourself in school and just starting out to initiate a long history of credit.

  4. Another thing I’ve noticed is for many people, below-average credit is the response to circumstances further than their control. For example they may are already saddled by having an illness so they really have large bills going to collections. It may be due to a occupation loss or the inability to do the job. Sometimes separation and divorce can send the finances in the wrong direction. Thanks sharing your notions on this blog site.
