POST readers may recall previous references to my membership of Toastmasters, the “club for leaders and communicators.” As members, we select a “pathway” from the website and complete a set of projects of gradually increasing complexity, culminating in a major project which might be to deliver a keynote-type speech at a club meeting, or lead a team of fellow members in organizing and running an event.
Among the projects in the early part of each pathway is one entitled “Research and Present”. The Toastmaster member researches a topic of their choosing and presents their findings in a short speech to their club. I’m at different stages on three different pathways but on one of them, “Research and Present” is my next project.
