It's Better with Help

One of the most amazing places to be if you are interested in seeing people exercising their potential is at a Toastmasters meeting. It's the only large group I know of that exists for the expressed purpose of helping its members grow. There are over 200,000 members worldwide. They teach communication and leadership. What big, hairy, audacious goal doesn't include that? Toastmasters learn in clubs, whose optimum size is 20 members, of which about 15 will come to any one meeting. That's 15 people to demonstrate the skills you are trying to learn, listen to you, encourage you, and make suggestions for how you can do even better. Not to mention the effect of that many people working in harmony to achieve their goals. And, of course, if you're not having fun, you're not doing it right, as we say. There is nothing like it. But I did see it in a vision once and wrote about it in my book.
