Like me, many of you began this Toastmasters journey in search of growth (communication and/or leadership). Once you gain access to tools and resources, why stay? I stayed because someone saw my failed efforts and reached out to me, encouraged me and taught me how to lead. She helped me find my voice and gain the confidence I lacked. The efforts of one member, Carla Pope, is why I’m passionate about the Power of One. “Reach One, Teach One, Keep One” is not a slogan for me, it’s my passion. Like Carla, I want to be that One spark for someone else and encourage you to do the same.
