You’ve achieved your Competent Communicator (CC) designation. Congratulations! Now what should you do? There are two correct answers, and both are important: 1) Help others grow, and 2) Continue your personal development. If Toastmasters has helped you, then you may want to increase your involvement. To do so, join another club – particularly an advanced club. Consider the benefits: Practice, practice, practice.
