The Foundation of a Humorous Speech

16 hours ago by John Kinde

It’s Not the Right Time

1 day ago by chris

I have noticed a disturbing trend in the Toastmasters clubs that I am active. A new member will join, give a speech or two, and then send an e-mail that says, “I am sorry, but I just don’t have the time for Toastmasters anymore.” The irony of these e-mails is that they tend to come from people that ...
