“Toastmasters gave me the confidence to do more than I had ever thought would be possible for me!
I used to get really nervous sharing my ideas in meetings at work, and that meant that I would just keep my ideas to myself. I wanted to contribute to the team but I didn’t know how.

I decided that I didn’t want my nerves to hold me back any more, so I joined Toastmasters. I was amazed at how supportive the group was, and it didn’t matter about making mistakes because it was more about having a go and learning from the experience.

I had to put in the time and work, but the effort was worth it. My mentor helped me to tackle gradually more challenging projects, and after a while I found myself presenting sessions at workshops, and running courses. It didn’t mean the nerves had stopped, but they became less frequent, and I had learned to deal with them so that they didn’t hold me back.

I’d recommend Toastmasters to anyone who wants to grow their potential. You’ll be surprised at what you can achieve!”
