I'm a what?
Sep. 14th, 2007 08:14 amIf I haven't mentioned this before, I've joined a Toastmasters club here at work back in July. The club just turned a year old this month.
So, I've been my usual self. I volunteered to take first a speech, then another role the past couple of meetings as people were unable to make them. I've come up with a couple of suggestions and volunteered to help out with an event we have coming up next week.
So, in an email exchange that I'm having with the new club president about my suggestions, he said "Your experience and enthusiasm are an invaluable asset to our young club, which needs solid club leaders like you to help show us how rewarding, challenging, and fun our club can be."
Solid club leaders like me?
This caught me off guard. In fact, in my response back to him I said, "...part of me is metaphorically looking around the room for the "solid leader" you called me..."
I've run an SCA household for several years. I've held offices in the SCA, Rebekahs, APO, and the Jaycees.
It still amazes me that people listen to me and see me as a leader.
