How Toastmasters made me a better husband-Part 2 Well my last post was about receiving criticism in a healthy manner that will lead to growth. Today I want to talk about how Toastmasters has helped me be better at giving feedback. I haven’t always been the best in this area, but since I have been a Toastmaster I have learned to get much better. I have learned when I need to communicate something that could be taken as criticsm that I should be patient and really think about what I am going to say and not just react. When emotions are high it is really easy to say the first thing on our mind. Wrong! Wait, evaluate, Communicate. I take a pause, get my thoughts together and then give feedback. I have also learned that I always want to end the conversation on a high note. This could be something that I think my wife has done right in this instance or just how proud I am to be her husband. Whatever it is I want my wife to feel better about herself after the conversation than before it. Isn’t that the goals of all our evaluations anyway? Make sure to Like our Page. Have a great day!
