By practicing speaking on a topic you know little about you gain confidence in your ability to be in front of others. Like any good practicing you need to be in a safe, supported group. The Toastmasters events were set up to allow you to be with others who were practicing and who were also talking about a topic they knew nothing or little about.

Once you can get in front of a group and talk about something new to you speaking on a topic you know is easy!
