I have learnt a lot about myself as a person and a leader taking on this role. At times it has been challenging but it has stretched me to learn new things and become a better person and leader. You get as much out as you put in. If your motivation is to really help people, not just yourself, you can do this with people who really need and are grateful for your help. You’ll also be amazed what you personally receive from the role.

You will learn that you're able to do things that you never thought about and uncover natural skills.

Go ahead and do it. Commit to the role, and don't wait

Just do it! Ask people who have done the role to find out more about it. Expect a lot of fun, a bit of work and feeling fantastic about the way that you develop

That being a club officer gives you the skills and experience that can help in work and professional life

That it will be a great adventure! Although many of us joined Toastmasters to develop confidence and communication skills, it's the opportunities for leadership development that can truly unlock your potential. If you can commit to the role, are willing to learn and are keen to help others, then taking on Toastmasters leadership roles can transform your life

Stand up, step up and put your hands up. You will give a lot and you gain twice as much. You gain skills, you gain access to a wider network, and you grow as a person. Most importantly, you have the opportunity to help build a legacy for future Toastmasters to enjoy the benefits that we enjoy today.

A leadership position in Toastmasters gives you a fantastic opportunity to learn and grow. By the end of your term, you will not believe how much you have progressed and achieved.

Just do it, put your hand up and go for it as it is a fantastic opportunity for growth and development.

I would definitely recommend doing a leadership role in the organisation as you increase your knowledge and skills as well as meeting members from the Area, District and Division. Full of helpful and friendly people.

Absolutely do it. It is so rewarding. I genuinely enjoy my role so much and you get to talk to and meet so many new and interesting friends.

Don't just be content with a club Officer role though that is very important to and for the life of a club. Rather set your sights on a far wider horizon where your learned skills will be utilised but more importantly you will gain new leadership skills that you can apply not only at club level, but also in your place of work and community.

To anyone considering a Toastmasters leadership position, Angela would wholeheartedly encourage them to seize the opportunity. She believes that Toastmasters provides a nurturing platform for honing leadership skills, fostering personal growth, and building lasting connections. Angela's advice is to embrace the journey, be open to learning from others, and relish the invaluable experiences that Toastmasters offers. She firmly believes that stepping into a leadership role within Toastmasters can be a transformative and enriching experience that opens doors to a world of self-improvement and empowerment.

That is a challenging but exciting option, and should be given serious consideration. It is still a safe environment (like everything in Toastmasters) where you cannot fail but you can gain experience, you can gain more confidence, you can win some chance for serious personal development and growth.

Consider taking on a Leadership role in your club to begin with, this will help you to learn more about Toastmasters and gain more Self-Confidence, it is an opportunity to attend more meetings, gain more Leadership and Communication Skills and these skills can also help you in your chosen career as well as in your club.

This is your moment, take that leap of faith, it will inspire you to greatness. Always grant yourself new learning opportunities, particularly those who have no technical background or even if you possess some knowledge in the technology space.

Feel the fear but do it anyway to paraphrase an oft used quote. You are far more capable than you imagine. Discover untapped skills that may become your newfound strengths. The world has no limits except those in our minds.
