Open your envelope

What's in your envelope? Open it. I believe you have more than you think you have.

This theme seems to be in my face the past few days, in many places. I visited a Toastmaster club this week where outstanding speakers gave Ice-Breaker speeches. These Toastmasters have the talent to make it onto the World Stage in 2008. But they did not comprehend what I saw, when I explained their talents to them. I will work on explaining the speaking talents they have in their envelopes and what the World Stage is, so that they can reach for it. If Darren LaCroix can go from Chump to Champ, then the speakers I have seen in the past month at various contests and clubs in District 53 can go from Ice-Breakers to News-Makers.

Speaking of Toastmaster contests. Tonight is Division B contest in West Hartford. I am looking forward to great Table Topics and Humorous performances.

Feet-to-the-fire update: Liz reviewed the audio CD today. We are not satisfied with the recording and will review our next steps. We need to re-record and would like the next time to be the final copy.
