Pamela offers keynotes and training related to living life with purpose through goal setting, communication, and realizing your own influence and potential. Pamela shares how Toastmasters helps its members develop skills and advance their career.
Toastmasters is a great organization that can help people expand their skills and knowledge in the new work world. Joining Toastmasters can be beneficial for both the employee and the company, as it helps to run meetings better and improve performance. For instance, the club helps its members refine their speaking and listening skills.
Listening is a huge part of communication that many people overlook when they go into public speaking. In the work world, you have to know your audience and listen to what they want. After you listen and understand, you must think about what value you can give based on the wants you’ve just heard.
