Thoughts on Toastmasters International and Furthering Education.

[TheNewRich]

I've been trying to self educate for the last year reading numerous books on self improvement In the last 5 months I've read "How to win friends and influence people", Extreme Ownership, Rich Dad Poor Dad, 7 Habits of Highly successful people, Think and Grow Rich, Influence: Psychology of Persuasion, 5 second rule, and Tribes to name a few. I am 3/4ths the way through Millionaire Fast Lane. I currently work in sales.... until I figure out how to get out of the rat race. Has anyone had any experience with toastmasters? I feel like I lack leadership and I feel like I try to make false sense of leadership with a egotistic know it all approach. *sigh*

I also have a hard time with speaking in front of large groups of people. I just don't know what to say as my mind races. Though it is a bit easier when I'm on medication for my ADHD.
So after all that rambling my question is does anyone have experience with toastmasters and would or has it helped? What are some good books to further my education? Selling, Speaking, Leadership.

Thank you guys!
