Toastmasters, Live your legend and how to connect with anyone

In the last month I have done 3 major things in my life:
1. Joined Toastmasters
2. Signed up for the how to connect with anyone course.
3. Learning to live my legend.

Toastmasters
For a while now I have been wanting to join the Toastmasters club. I first had the desire to join the club when my uncle Hugh from Cape Town gave the best obituary I have heard at his fathers funeral. Later I learned that he was a  member of the Toastmasters club which is how he had learned public speaking. Later in 2010 after I have moved back to Pietermaritzburg from Cape Town I started showing interest in joining Toastmasters myself but never had the time to do it, and it just got left off my list. But now in 2013 I have decided to join. I have three goals that I wish to achieve by joining Toastmasters. Those are, I would like to become more confident in public speaking, and also just generally raise my confidence levels. I would also like to use it as a tool to ‘Get Out’. But get out, I mean to have a presence in the real world, as I spend a lot of my time working from my office.

How to connect with anyone 
In the middle of September I took the plunge and signed up for an online course called ‘How to connect with anyone’. The course is hosted by Scott Dinsmore from California. In this course I will be learning to literally be able to connect with anyone in a room. A big part of the problem with this is being able to know what to say to a complete stranger, so during this course we will be learning how to go about knowing what to say. Also the course focuses on seeing strangers not as strangers but rather as friends we have yet to meet. So we will see how this goes, and whether I manage to meet my goals.

Live your legend
Scott Dinsmore of ‘How to connect with anyone’ also has courses specializing in how to live your legend, and how to find your passion. So as part of the connect with anyone course I am hoping that I will be able to discover new things about myself and learn how to live my legend.

A good way to learn more about ones self is to have a blog, so I am busy in the process of reviving my blog and getting more active posts on here.

I hope that you enjoy the journey with me as I continue to post interesting articles.

 

 

Gods mercies new every morning – What Grace?

Lamentation 3:22-23

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness

Got this verse in my email inbox this morning.  Its really an amazing scripture which reminds us of the mercies and grace that the Father has for us.  We were learning at church this Sunday that as a mature believer that we would know the grace the father has for us.  And its when we are able to accept the Fathers forgiveness that we being to learn to forgive ourselves, and then we can truly forgive others and live in peace and harmony with eachother…

Behold how good and how pleasant it is for the brethren to dwell together :)  I believe that Gods face shines down on His sons and daughters who are enjoying community together.

Be Blessed guys and see you around :)

In Him.
