How inspiring it is for me to share my Toastmasters experience with my husband! As of today, we will be dual members of two clubs together, and I will be a member of 4. Having common (dream) goals with one’s partner keeps both focused on the big, beautiful (and hopefully scenic) picture. Perfect gait, cane, walker, or even wheelchair… I will be an inspirational speaker and author, as I *know* he will be as well. We’re both headed that way. Having approached it from rather different directions, we’re on branches of the same tree. I know a number of couples who support each other through their speaking and leadership journeys; to be a member of a dynamic team pushes me harder to pursue my own personal goals. At the very least, I will always have someone to fill in my CL (Competent Leadership) manual when/if I forget to bring it to a meeting!
