Advice for Young Professionals (#10 in a Series)

"I've never met anyone who didn't think Toastmasters was super valuable to their career. We gain self-esteem, self-confidence, assertiveness. This makes us better salespeople, better managers, better leaders. I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for my dad pushing me over the threshold, pushing me to join Toastmasters. I had no idea whatsoever that some day I'd speak to Fortune 500 companies every week. Had I not been a good speaker, there isn't one chance in a hundred that I would have ever written a book. So it started with Toastmasters."
~Harvey Mackay, Best-selling author, speaker, and chairman of MackayMitchell Envelope Co, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
