I had always had an interest in public speaking, but not many opportunities. But I felt that it was something I wanted to pursue. It\u2019s a great way of learning by doing and you always get feedback.

I came across Toastmasters \u201cby coincidence\u201d, and it has become a very important part of my life. I don\u2019t manage to go to every TM Meeting, but every time I do, I leave full of good energy and feeling invigorated. I really appreciate the warm welcoming atmosphere and the supportive attitude people have. Since we\u2019re an English speaking club, we have a very international and diverse membership, and many of my TM colleagues have become friends.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><a title=\"Members\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mercury-toastmasters-berlin.de\/?page_id=25\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christine Roos<\/a>, <a href=\"www.croos-consulting.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Croos Consulting<\/a> and\u00a0Toastmaster since 2010<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>I am a big fan of Toastmasters!
