Hi

A Toastmasters course/club is starting in my workplace soon.

I like the idea of Toastmasters - however, has anybody who has done the course think doing it in a work setting may detract from its effectiveness?

For example, it's likely I'll be practicing 'public speaking' (presumably with bad habits identified) in front of people who I will be working with and are possibly more senior than I am.

Possibly it's no big deal - but I feel like in 'typical' Toastmasters I wouldn't be as conscious of the actual content of my speeches as I would be in a work setting.

Has anyone done something like this? I may be overthinking it!
