I am a student of life, always wanting to learn ways to improve myself and the lives of those around me. One thing I have always considered a lacking area in my life is effective communications. I am part of Toastmasters to help me learn to overcome some of my communication hurdles.
For those not aware, Toastmasters has changed their program. They used to have a leadership path and a communication path. The communication path allowed some variations at advanced levels. Today there are 10 paths that combine communications and leadership. The path I have chosen is Stragtic Relationships.
When it comes to work, I value everyone's input. I am more than happy if someone wants to tackle a task. But too often, I expect people to already know what to do or to be able to figure it out on their own. I need to work on my skills not only as a leader but that of a trainer.
I hope to finish my Toastmasters path by November and move on to a new one by this time next year. To accomplish my goal I will have to do a presentation every 3 weeks. If something happens along the way, I will have to make adjustments/course corrections.
