People join POWERtalk with a desire for self-development in association with others with the
same goals. The individual club surrounds the member with encouragement for growth.
In this supportive climate it is easier to face personal shortcomings, as pointed out in appraisal with suggestions for correction,
because others are striving for improvement too.
Those who enter the ranks of POWERtalk with the serious intent of benefitting from its program of education
stand at the threshold of an exciting experience. It is always stimulating to find you can extend your powers and abilities
if you make a consistent effort. With POWERtalk you learn by doing
and progress at your own pace. The more active you are, the more you will profit from your
membership.
Another benefit of the organization is the recognition of individual members.
Achievements such as passing a level in the Accreditation Program or placing in the Speech or Writing Contest are usually
acknowledged with certificates or plaques, as well as with coverage by the local news media.
This is a great way to promote both the organization and the individual before the general public. And with most employers
looking for people with "good communication skills", your membership is well worth the price. In fact, many employers will
pay your membership fees from their training budget!
