Variety Is The Spice Of Life

Michael Cronin, the author of this weeks article, is a long time supporter of Speakeasy Toastmasters, President of the club more than once and has represented the club successfully at international contests.



Variety is the spice of life

Not only does toastmasters improve our communication and leadership skills it also provides us with other advantages which are not so visible. By becoming a member you come in contact with people from all different walks of life. Within the club you get opportunity to meet people whose work and life is totally different to our own and who have very interesting stories to share. My recent favourite is when a member told me that as a young person he left Ireland and became a train driver in Rhodesia.



We are also very fortunate in The Speakeasy club to have a have a very wide age profile in our membership, our youngest being in their 20's to our oldest being in their mid 70's. It gives a great variety of stories and insights into different topics and its wonderful to see how everyone learns from each other.



It is also important to note that the Speakeasy Club is not just a Mallow club, the continued success of the club has been built on the fact that we have members not only from Mallow and its locality but also from a much wider area which include places such as Kanturk, Millstreet, Boherbue and many more. This adds greatly to the mix within the club.



While toastmasters has a lot to offer regarding communication skills it also has a lot to offer from a social aspect. Come along and see for yourself and enjoy.
