EP 12 - The World Needs Toastmasters - Conversation with Ross
Description
Ross has been a member of Toastmasters on and off for almost 30 years, but he professes and I agree “Once a Toastmaster, always a Toastmaster.”
Listen in to this reflective episode where we delve into the concept of communication, seeing it as a complex, multi-directional process where individuals reflect on and internalize messages, which then shape personal responses.
Reflecting on Toastmasters, Ross shares how the organization functions as a communal space for personal growth and self-expression. The storytelling aspect of speeches allows individuals to explore, alter, and deepen their narratives, which can be therapeutic and transformative.
In an increasingly digital age, Toastmasters' emphasis on face-to-face interaction fulfills a critical need for genuine human connection, predicting a bright future for the organization as it provides a rare space for practicing interpersonal skills.
