Toastmaster Speech #3 Competent Communication – Outside Your Comfort Zone

Notes for the speech

Self Improvement or Self Growth

I traveled to Italy for a fashion and art tour back when I was in college. We were to take the bus to France heading toward Paris. The bus driver did not speak any English but he drove a bus load of American Students from Italy to France through the Pyrennes Mountains. He must have ridden that route many times because all of us were on edge as he took the corners and switch backs like he didn’t care what happened. We didn’t have seat belts and we were being thrown around. We did make it safely to Thonon France where we were left on the side of the road with our luggage.

Talk about being outside your comfort zone. When someone throws you a lemon make lemon aide.  How do we react when we are outside our comfort zone. Is it the thrill of a lifetime or make you want.

The time I got a flat.

Embarrassing moments toilet paper on my shoe

We all appreciate serendipitity

Taking Control and preparing for a surprise upset

You can choose being

If you want to change, you have to be willing to be uncomfortable. By zig Ziglar

What is out side your comfort zone that will give you the lesson of a lifetime.

Is it talking to a stranger,

volunteering in a bad section of town,

asking favors as Connie says putting your ask in gear

Cold calling another favorite of Connie

Or how about public speaking

Dancing with your spouce

This could actually make a difference in my life as well as someone else
