Communication

For the next several days we are going to take a look at an essential need of leadership.  That need is communication. It is imperative that if you want to be a leader you need to communicate and you need to communicate well. Communication goes beyond just talking it also involves listening and it includes how you say the words. We will look at all of these things of the next several days.

Today I want to give you a background and offer a place you can go to become the great communicator that you want to be. I have been involved in Toastmasters for six years and it is a program that helps build communication skills and leadership skills. The value you receive from Toastmasters is unmatched. You will have an opportunity to speak at every meeting you attend. Some of the speaking will be in formal speeches, impromptu speaking and leading meetings.

I suggest if communication is something you want to get better at then join a Toastmasters group near you. Here is the link to Toastmasters International to get you started. http://www.toastmasters.org/
