My Slavic origin helped me to have a laugh with a Serbian lady at the counter of Dunkin’ Donuts in Manhattan this afternoon.

Having done an IceBreaker (okay, and a few other speeches) is my ticket to any of the world’s Toastmasters Clubs.

And once I get a bit better at Tango – I’m sure I’ll be a welcome guest to any milonga.

When you want to connect with people, it’s good to have a “Common Denominator”.

And yet – sometimes – I think I’m overthinking it. Maybe all it takes is a smile.
