Somebody was telling me about it earlier today,
apparently its really effective. They said everyone was fluent and "natural-looking" by the end of the program. I guess it helps you with nervous twitches and all that.
I've never been tho

My job was forcing everyone to take it and I wanted too but there's to many different chapters and groups, netting at all kinds of days and time.

But it definitely does have a lot of benefits

my old job at this commercial mortgage spot used to have meetings i joined for the free pizza

anyway each meeting someone is a MC a time keeper and word filler counter and you have to go through different types of speeches i forget exactly i think the 1st speech is about yourself 2nd speech is something you overcame and you go up to i think 5

anyway since i have had jobs that deal with clients it definitely helped me be more aware of filler words like "uh" "um" and dead air on the phone....


i would recommend it..if you hold an office for your chapter not too shabby to have on a resume i guess

 

[TYBG]

Do it bruh. If you work in a profession that deals with client work and face to face interaction, it helps with improv.

As other stated, you can throw the experience on your resume

I have a huge fear of talking in front of people.
