Meet our featured Royal Oak Toastmaster for the month of February... Craig Fulton, ACG, ALB Q: How did you hear about Toastmasters? How long have you been a member of the club? I happen to hear about Toastmasters through a friend but didn't really listen to what it was all about. I saw another Toastmaster talk about the benefits on social media and decided to attend a meeting. I have been a member of Toastmasters since April 2013. I belong to 2 clubs. I've been a member of Royal Oak Toastmasters since July 2017. Q: What objectives do you hope to accomplish or what are you working toward as a member of this club? There's a quote by an unknown source: "Whatever you feed will grow. Faith or fear. Worry or confidence. Doubt or belief. It's your choice what grows." I hope to always grow personally and in business due to the results of my involvement with Toastmasters. I also want to help, inspire and encourage others with their growth, confidence, public speaking and leadership skills that I learned in the Toastmasters Organization. Q: How has toastmasters helped you in your professional or personal journey toward becoming a better speaker? Toastmasters has helped me in my personal and professional journey by providing a laboratory to learn and practice communication skills with encouragement, feedback and challenges! Q: Share a fun fact about yourself. I am shy, introverted, and very nervous, so I have to transform that energy into excitement before I speak. Q: Who would you most like to have a conversation with? Why? I would love to share a conversation with Frederick Douglass about his “4th of July” speech because it was so thought-provoking for the time and era. Q: What is the best public speaking tip you’ve received? The best public tip I received was to know your audience and your premise before you give your speech. Q: What is a tip you’d like to share for others? “Great things in business are never done by one person. They are done by a team of people.” -- Steve Jobs By working together everyone can pursue and excel at their personal objectives through the Toastmasters process. I believe “Great Things” are in our future. Take that step and challenge yourself.
