The following is my answer to a Quora
question: “I
am afraid to join Toastmasters club, but I want to. What do you suggest?”
What exactly are you afraid of? To address fear, you must first identify it,
and diagnose the causes. If the fear is public
speaking, you are in good company in a Toastmasters club. If the fear is that they will make you speak,
that is unfounded since the choice is still yours. If the fear is that you will be rejected, you
do not need to be in a Toastmasters club to be rejected. I would suggest you attend. Just come, and see for yourself. If you need to, bring a friend, or friends. And if you do not like the atmosphere at the
place, shop around and attend other clubs. Find a place that feels warm and welcoming. The rest, is up to you.
