80% of what I am and can today is thanks to my time in Toastmasters. I've been an active member of Chisinau Toastmasters Club for 10 years, and as result of the 2500 hours dedicated to it (yes, I counted, I am fun at parties! 😀 ), I gradually became a good enough speaker, a very good event organizer, a great evaluator and an excellent moderator (I am also very modest!). From someone who was deadly afraid of delivering a 15-minute presentation, I transformed into a lady who is still nervous, but immensely enjoys public speaking and leadership related activities. I am teaching at the MoldovaTechnical University, offering workshops to librarians from the Chisinau Municipal Library, coaching and mentoring colleagues at Endava about different professional growth challenges, and love every minute of it. As my fellow Toastmaster Ilie Dercaci says, there is no professional or personal area that Toastmasters cannot help you become better with - absolutely agree with him. This is exactly why I am insistently recommending everyone who would listen to me to join Toastmasters.

How did your activity at Toastmasters help you in your professional life?
I understood the value of time after giving several speeches in Toastmasters and I realized how important it is to stay concise and have impact in corporate presentations and during meetings, where a lot of people are under the impression that 10 minutes are not enough to have impact. One can have major impact in just one minute or two. Practicing various speech projects helped me become a better moderator and trainer at work, a public speaking mentor and even a better speaker on social media. I also learnt how to provide feedback in a positive and efficient manner, while staying objective and not mistaking constructive suggestions for criticism. Giving feedback is a delicate matter that differs culturally, and I found that the weekly practice improved even my ability to receive feedback. At Toastmasters I learned that feedback comes from a place of support and goodness of the heart - and after you let that sink in, your manner of giving and receiving feedback improves to the benefit of all parties involved.

What lesson came as a suprise in Toastmasters?
Toastmasters has helped me redefine the key to success. I thought it was about doing the work, a bit of luck and meeting the right people in the right moment, whereas now I feel life is not about success, but mainly about consistency. Having a system to work on the things you want to progress everyday helps you enjoy life more. Being able to test, experiment, learn a lesson and apply it in a safe environment helped me gain more trust in my ability to draw actionable conclusions after each iteration, project or apparent failure.
Why would you recommend Toasmasters to others?

Toastmasters is a place where you can actually practice public speaking instead of sitting in for a lecture on public speaking theory. You get to present on stage in front of other people who are there to see you grow and provide you with actionable feedback. It is a place where you sit with your public speaking fear on stage next to you, and you let it be, while you deliver your message to the audience.

What I learned about doing speeches in Toastmasters helped me to become a much better preacher. It had a huge influence on my preparation and delivery of doing sermons. It changed how I opened and closed my sermons, how to use transitions more effectively and how to make my sermons more focused, more concise. In addition, I learned how to use my gestures and voice in ways that helped those in the church to be more engaged with what I was saying resulting in my sermons having more impact.
One big surprise I noticed in my life after being in Toastmasters for a few years was that I became much more extroverted in situations where I was hanging out with people in different circumstances. I used to be pretty quiet and just watched what was going on but became more proactive in initiating and enjoying conversations to get to know people.
I recommend Toastmasters to other people because if they will put in the time and effort, it will change them for the better and give them more confidence which will open up more opportunities for them to change the world.

I joined Toastmasters because I had taken on a new role at our ngo and I needed to do fundraising. Before entering the Toastmasters world, I was struggling to interact with people and also to present our projects in an efficient way. At TM I have learnt to do this and I can give you an example. I was at an event last year and the presenter surprised me by calling me to the stage and to talk about the work our NGO does. Luckly I was at the back of the room and by the time I had reached the stage I had formulated a mini presentation that I gave. TM helped me with 3 things here. Firstly because of the improvised section at the meetings, I was able to think quickly and prepare a presentation, also TM helped me with the structure of a perfect presentation, then finally, I actually now enjoy speaking in front of people.
The most surprising thing that I have learnt at Toastmasters is the fact that I really enjoy speaking in public. Before Toastmasters I tried as hard as possible to not have to talk to other people and now people can’t shut me up when I attend events. Another thing that surprised me is actually how inefficient we are at communicating and how much Toastmasters helps us with this.
The main reason that I would recommend TM to others is as follows. The constant exercising of our skills. These days there are so many online courses that you maybe do for a weekend, or a month, and then you are on your own. Whereas at Toastmasters you exercise your abilities every week, its like going to the gym constantly, its on when you do it on a regular basis that you improve and see growth.
