You know, several weeks ago, I called up Dan over the phone and I said “Dan, I used to be with the toastmasters club and I’d like to rejoin. How do I do that?”
At the other end, Dan said “Oh really? That’s no problem. Just go on attend the next session. Ask Mic when the next session will be. And by the way, be ready with your Ice Breaker speech.” And that’s why I’m here today.
But two years ago, I was already a de facto member of this club and after only 3 or 4 sessions, I left. So today, I’ll talk about why I left and why I’m coming back.
