If you join toastmasters for that purpose, I'd suggest joining a smaller club because in small clubs (5-7 people attending) you're more likely to be called to do a table topic each week whereas in bigger clubs you won't be called upon that frequently due to the limit of table topics per meeting. |
Yeah I have thought about that, but to be honest the large group format is very daunting for me. It would be good if I could get a small group, but I have yet to find that group.
I still think this is more to do with performance anxiety, so I am not sure if toastmasters would be enough at this stage? I quite severe anxiety to be honest, but have been cleverly been able to mask it, by cleverly avoiding certain situations.
