Based on your experience, is Toastmasters worth it?

I am highly anxious and nervous when it comes to public speaking. I’d like to recognize my employees with awards for all the wonderful things they do, but the awards ceremony is 300 people strong. I refuse to let my fears get in the way of giving them the recognition they deserve. Is toastmasters the way to go or is there something better out there?

I've been thinking of doing this too...I loved it at school but have developed stupid anxiety habits that I'm determined to overcome

@SW-User I couldn’t even do this at school. I always feel like everyone in the audience is judging me.

@DecafD no that is just your perspective they aren't really.. once you understand that you are free

@SW-User thank you. Someone else said this as well, that how I see myself is why I believe other people see me this way as well.

@DecafD exactly, it's your perception of you not theirs!!
