Peggy Corino, CC, CL MidCities Achievers Bedford, Texas

I have a very outgoing personality and communication is my passion. My friend, a member, urged me to go. I went to a meeting. I’ve been addicted to Toastmasters ever since.

Because Toastmasters helps me organize my thoughts better, I’m more confident that my messages are fully understood.

“Too much gab,” now fab: I have a strong ability to lead others; however, I used to get long-winded which tended to confuse the people I led. Now, I know how to say the key elements quickly so people do not get confused.

“Members live and breathe the positioning statement of Toastmasters International  . . . I also strive to impact people I come in contact with in a positive, encouraging way.”
