MILL VALLEY, CA — Even during the best of times it's never been easy for most to stand in front of a microphone and speak to a crowd of strangers. A year into lockdown in which most of us have lost our social skills, the challenge is that much more daunting. The Mill Valley Public Library and the Marin County 'Rise & Shine' Toastmasters Club have jointly launched a program that aims to help. The program's first meeting will be held Friday from noon to 1:30 p.m. "Speaking Publicly: Gain the Skills & Confidence to Show Up as Yourself," is an eight-week program that helps beginners craft their skills amid a supportive environment. The program will hold weekly meeting that will include two prepared speeches and impromptu talks on a selected topic. The meetings will also include a Q&A for additional tips and instructions. The first session will include: Zoom Tips (lighting, etc.) and Zoom Slideshows. Registration for this even is full but those interested in joining the program are encouraged to sign up for the wait list.
