I am certainly learning through Toastmasters and my skills at prepared and impromptu speaking are improving and so are my listening skills. There are specific faults that I'm able to concentrate on and eliminate from my speaking which will be a great help. (I've almost completed my 1st year as a TM and been Vice President Public Relations for my club this last year.)

Rahul Mehta In my expereince most evaluators give boiler plate evaluations that are not useful to the speaker's development. please comment.

Rahul Mehta I am an ATM-B / CL. Since a long time, I stopped my TM activities. I find it got a little monotonous. Does anyone feel the same way?

David Faragó: Sometimes I think it is slightly monotonous & my progress's stagnating. But then I notice, for instance, errors I just learned to avoid :)
