Ed, I have competed almost 3 years in Toastmasters and I still have fear from the table topic roles, I feel afraid when I have been called to answer the question. I Dont know WHY?

I would like to improve my skills in impromptu speaking. how can I overocme that ?

Today, you have motivated me to begin the process of blogging.

Over the years, I have learned sometimes we just have to jump into the deep end of the pool.

Ed your writing ability is just fine. Your personal Mind Shift is saying to yourself that you are an excellent writer and then acting on this new found belief. I’ll give you an example. Prior to getting married my wife told me I could fix her garbage disposal…because I was smart. At the time, she did not realize that I am handyman challenged. Nevertheless, I fixated on the fact that she thought I was smart. Somehow, my mind and hands synchronised. Today, I am saying the same thing to you. “You can write because you are smart”. I hope this helps in your Mind Shift quest.

I am looking forward to reading your blog. I was very impressed with the speech and workshop you did at the Toastmasters conference in Mt. Tremblant and purchased your CD set which I have listened to several times.
