Do you have something you are aching to say, want to ask, or want to wonder about out loud? Have you found ‘sounding board’ folks?
If it’s not too personal, Toastmasters International Clubs are a great place to visit and test the waters of opening your mouth and saying, “Yap!”
That’s a friendly reference to the powerful extra sound needed by every Who in Whoville to save guess who?
Yes, that vonderful elephant Horton. Well, consider this a Who-friendly forum. Post a comment as the spirit moves you. It’s find to ‘agree to disagree’ and even to change your mind and agree in part with something posted on the blog. Let’s see what happens as a learning community as we venture into unknown but friendly territory of talking out loud, thinking on paper, and well, just dreaming while we can here in Amerique..yes,creative words and phrases are permissible too…Horton and I are all ears…
PS Just saying “Toastmasters” is a great way to start a conversation such as “Have you heard of Toastmasters? It’s a place where people learn about speaking and you don’t have to say anything as guest!” You can continue with, “There’s infomation online, and clubs all over the country. It is a nice way to learn about making meetings more efficient and friendly which may result in better outcomes too!” This is a win-win way to educate US-All and encourage everyone to discover and engage their sense of self, voice, team and much more. Let me know here if you’ve tried it and how it went. Comment away and share on FB!
Thanks a bundle.”You’re the best!” (another bit of good self-talk but okay to tell others too as it rings true, or try “You’re Beautiful” — which my teen son used to chime to friends along his path, whether in the halls of HoUSAtonic (and good words ARE a good tonic for US-All) or by a whitewater river boating event, or in life in general, even online Or now from heavenI imagine! (“why’d you think of writing it, Mom, I can here him chuckling…Thanks, Kaelan, You are Beautiful through and through still, 4 years heavenside!)
