Does joining Toastmasters help?
Yes. But to get most out of it one better have a good set of exercises in mind, exercises that alter the self talk. Toastmaster’s is an excellent way to desensitize a speaker, any speaker to speak in front of people. However, if a good therapy plaln is not in effect, it can turn out to be even disastrous. Any failure in which there is no built in learning feedback, can set the individual back, and fossilize him into thinking that he is beyond help.
