Why I Left Toastmasters
If you enjoy what you found here please hit like, subscribe and share today’s video in which Frank tells his grandchildren about his experiences at Toastmasters and how they made him a better public speaker.
It was recorded in Timicuan Preserve, Fort Caroline, Florida on 1/19/23.
It is part of the Story of My Life series in which he tells his story in his words, with his insights - to his grandsons and unborn progeny. These stories are not in chronological order. They follow no philosophical path. They are being recorded as they are remembered by Frank and put into story form. A few were first done as speeches at Toastmasters.
Frank Clark has been many things in his life, from a trash man in Stone Harbor, New Jersey to a police officer in Philadelphia, to a revenue officer at the Internal Revenue Service. He retired in 2019 as a front-line manager in the IRS Appeals office after almost 40 years of government service.
Frank graduated from Park College in 1977 with a BA in Management and the University of Miami in 2012 with a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies. His thesis is titled “Maximón: The Shape Shifting Trickster.” He is the author of “Run for YOUR Life” on Apple Books and teaches “One Small Step: Efficiency for Managers” on Udemy.
He surfs, scuba dives, has run 46 marathons, ferments foods, bakes bread, brews beer, has a 1981 VW camper-van, is a throat cancer survivor, is married and has a son, daughter and two grandsons. Frank is currently 69 years old.
It doesn’t matter if you love these stories, hate them or are offended by them. They were recorded for a specific purpose and Frank is staying true to that. They also weren’t recorded in a studio, so there are background noises in most of them. They were almost all done in one take, with no editing. They are like life: imperfect. If you need to hear what Frank has to say, you will ignore all the distractions.
So…enjoy!
