Answers to most of your Puzzles in regard to job interviews, meetings, speeches, leadership skills and communication - all can be solved with the help of TOASTMASTERS!! WHAT ? WHY? HOW?! You will find answers to all the questions at the end.

To get started, let me ask you this,

• Are you worried about how to face your next interview ?
• Are you not getting accepted in the interviews and need referrals ?
• Are you one among the people who go blank when you are asked to speak in front of people ?
• Are you ready to face your manager with proper updates when called out of blue ?
• Do you have Stage Fear but need to address big audience ?
• Do you want help on how to do a Toast in a wedding or talk during award ceremony ?

Guess what ?! At least 8 out of 10 will raise their hand to say "YES". I would have raised my hand too if at all I didn't join the Toastmasters.

Yep, I was in the boat as many of you few years back. For most of us, first and foremost problem is Speaking in English and expressing thoughts vividly and clearly so other people can understand since we don't speak English in our day-today life and its not our Mother tongue. We have to think in our mother language and try to convert to English and speak out. Its not an easy task to get it all right at the same speaking in front of big audience. Don't even go there, at least in front of few people. Adding to it, thinking on your toes to answer question instantaneously on certain situations or aggravates the problem.

I used to speak OK English being studied in a government school. Lot of us would agree(at least some, ok its me) with me that we don't basically listen to English Grammar classes during our school days because it didn't matter that time except the marks during the exams. But thanks to Vivekananda English Courses which helped me to get through some CAMPUS interviews and and helped little bit when I was working in India. But that's won't mean much if I gotta survive in the English whiz crowd coming to America.

After landing America, we gotta first get use to their slang which is entirely different from ours. We speak in British + India + Mother language combined slang , its Tanglish for me. Then we gotta to get their Accent. We have to first understand what they are telling first and then try to answer their questions. Its going to hell a lot tougher. Its gets worsen when we gotta to talk managers and co-workers all in English to share technical . That can also be tackled but when I have to give presentations and attended conference calls. That's nerve wracking right?!

I was successfully able to overcome all the hurdles and get good recognition around people only because I am a TOASTMASTERS. I am proud to say it.

Alright, I been telling lot about TOASTMASTERS and TOASTMASTERS will help. What exactly is it ?!
