Everywhere’s Possible.
29 May
If you’re shy, or know someone who is, tonight is the night you can get some FREE advice courtesy of the Des Moines Soundwaves Toastmasters.
According to speaker and shyness expert Frank Selden, shy people have some fantastic qualities they can access to transform to more social people.
Selden will share his secrets for shedding shyness during his “From Super Shy to Genuinely Gregarious” presentation at the special meeting at the Des Moines Soundwaves Toastmasters TONIGHT at 7pm.
This free presentation is open to the public at the Wesley Homes Administration Building-Board Room, 21631 11th Avenue South, which is located across from City Hall in Des Moines, WA.
Selden knows from experience what it’s like to be shy. “Before Toastmasters I was scared to talk to people. I wanted to get to know people and wanted people to know me, but couldn’t do it. Now you can’t get me to be quiet!” he stated.
His “From Super Shy to Genuinely Gregarious,” presentation offers four steps for feeling more comfortable and adventurous in social situations.
An estate and tax-planning attorney based in Bellevue, WA, Selden has achieved the status of Advanced Toastmaster Gold through his membership in Toastmasters International. Selden is also the author of “Finding Faith in the Fury,” a non-fiction account of his experience as a Jag officer with the Washington National Guard while stationed in Iraq.
Toastmasters International, headquartered in Mission Viejo, CA, is a non-profit organization comprised of a worldwide network of clubs dedicated to fostering self-confidence and personal growth through public speaking and leadership opportunities.
