Founded in June 2011, our club brings together more than 25 members representing a dozen different nationalities. We belong to the Area 4/Division A/District 59 of Toastmasters International: the organization that offers you a place to learn how to formulate, express and sell your ideas with confidence.
Toastmasters is the best way for anyone — whether a working professional, student, stay-at-home parent or retiree — to improve his or her communication and leadership skills. Members overcome the fear of public speaking and learn skills that aid them in becoming more successful. Toastmasters creates better listeners and stronger team members and leaders who can comfortably give and receive constructive evaluations.
Toastmasters, will give you the confidence to:
1. Develop better speaking and presentation skills.
2. Learn to think quickly and clearly on your feet.
3. Hone your listening skills.
The Toastmasters experience also helps you develop your leadership skills, practice skills from time management to team building. Once you’ve completed these programmes, you can continue onto the Advanced programmes.
How does Toastmaster work?
At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive environment. A typical Toastmasters club is made up of 20 to 30 people who meet once a week for approximately an hour. Each meeting gives members several opportunities:
1. Conduct meetings: Members learn how to plan and conduct meetings.
2. Give impromptu speeches: Members present one- to two- minute, impromptu speeches about assigned topics.
3. Present prepared speeches: Two or more members present speeches based on projects from manuals in Toastmasters’ proven communication and lead-ership programs. Projects cover topics such as speech organization, vocal variety, language, gestures and persuasion.
4. Offer constructive evaluation: Every speaker is assigned an evaluator who points out speech strengths and offers suggestions for improvement.
