15 years later... Jim is still enjoying Toastmasters.
Not because he's chasing awards.
Not because he's trying to become a perfect speaker.
Because he genuinely enjoys hearing people's stories.
One of my favourite things about Jim's answers was his reminder that people want you to succeed. Whether it's your first Table Topic, first speech, or first visit to a club, most people are rooting for you far more than you realise.
And after 15 years, that's still what keeps him coming back.
π Bonus fact: Jim's first fantasy novel is being published this autumn, and he'll be reading it at a fantasy convention in Glasgow.
