Hi Fusebox.
I don't typically post many of my Toastmaster's speeches on my blog, but I discuss some of the issues I have spoken about. My own experience is that you'll enjoy yourself and learn more if you choose topics of interest to you. At the same time, I understand why it can be intriguing to learn about the choices of other people. I encourage you to talk with other Toastmasters and also be a guest at other meetings and competitions to learn more.
Last night, I heard a new member of my club do an "ice breaker" speech. This man took a very different approach than anyone else has taken in my club, although, we're all unique so that is to a degree,to be expected. This man spoke about how travel led him to 'fall into' many of his most meaningful life experiences, from cleaning British hospital floors to working in a Chem Lab in Libya, to working for a forensic coroner in Australia, to taking a bus trip from London to Egypt (he admitted this inexpensive venture turned out to be the most expenvie trip because he met his wife). He deduced that everything happens for reasons and he's content to redefine life and stability all the time.
Readers would look forward to hearing more about your Toatmaster's Experiences.
All the best,
Liara
