Toastmasters Podcast #056: Linda Cohen - From CC to TV

The Toastmasters Podcast with Greg Gazin with Ryan Levesque & Bo Bennett

[18:00]  Toastmaster Linda Cohen talks about what she has learned from her experiences with the media, including the first time she appeared on TV. She had gone on a local morning show to discuss her book 1,000 Mitzvahs: How Small Acts of Kindness Can Heal, Inspire and Change Your Life, which explores the acts of kindness she performed in her father’s memory. Although the Oregon resident was nervous about the show, she says her Toastmasters training — especially Table Topics practice — paid off big for the TV interview!  Featured in the October 2011 issue of the Toastmaster magazine, Linda has had additional media opportunities since that initial experience.
