This is one of those situations where you don’t know what you don’t know.
When you invite people to Toastmasters meetings, how can you tell them all the details about what they are missing? It seems impossible, and this is all the more true for someone with many years of TM experience.
Do you remember why you joined Toastmasters? Can you tell someone why you are still in it after all these years? Why would anyone who does not know the value of Toastmasters decide to attend their first meeting?
I don’t know all of these answers. But I know that I don’t know them. Maybe this is a topic for leadership. Now that I will be the VPM for two clubs, I’ll fail often enough to find success. Then, I’ll share those answers with you. Until then, I’ll remain perplexed and challenged by the constant effort I’ll make with or without any signs of progress or success.
Enjoy!
