My First Experience

Thanks to Oasis Toastmasters club, I received an opportunity to be the event chair of the Speakathon in June.

Initially, when I was being asked to be the project chair, I knew nothing of a Speakathon, let alone the role of a project chair. However, I truly believed that it would be a project which could enhance my leadership skills effectively, and I decided to take the role without any hesitation. This was even though I joined toastmaster just a month earlier.

Oasis Toastmaster’s Club is a very good place for you to develop yourself in different aspects, as long as you have the mind to improve yourself. So, why does one want to join TM? I believe that improving ones speech and leadership should be some of the right reasons. Before the event, I had to prepare the MC script and contact the speakers. It was a very good exposure for a new member to get know the other members and enhance the running of TM.

What's more? The more important thing is Oasis has many senior members and their feedback was the vital learning I received through this event. The comments and encouragement from the TM members and peers are my treasures, it made me understand my room of being better.

All in all, please grasp your every opportunity to take up a role. Once you do this, you immediately get a platform to improve to learn and better yourself.
