Chronicles Of The Cubicles

My journey started on 19 Jul 2019 when one of my friends suggested me to join him in extracurricular that he was doing at that time. It was to join the Non-Profit Organization of Toastmasters to enhance my public speaking and leadership skills. I had heard of it from my other friends too. After multiple thoughts, I became the member of Infosys Pune Toastmasters Club from where it all started. Six months after starting my journey,IwasofferedtobecometheVicePresidentMembership whereinIhadtoconvincepeopletojoinToastmasters.

Toastmasters club got introduced to us in year Feb 2019. First Demo meeting was organized in office cafeteria. I got impressed with detailed planning shown on that day from staring the meeting on time to completing the meeting in time, followed by answering queries by guests. It was a wonderful experience I decided to join and journey begins. I started understanding what’s in it for me & got the answer soon when I got a role as Associate Practice Lead in my organization. For leading a team, we need to care & mentor our team. My mentor in Toastmaster helpedmealotintakingvariousroleinmeeting,improvingonmy public speaking skills, taking leadership roles.
