What is Toastmasters

Looking to improve your speaking and leadership skills? Ace a job interview? Ignite your career?

Membership in Toastmasters in one of the greatest investments you can make in yourself. At $45 every six months (club dues may vary), it is also one of the most cost-effective skill-building tools available anywhere.

How Does It Work?

• A Toastmasters meeting is a learn-by-doing workshop in which participants hone their speaking and leadership skills in a no-pressure atmosphere. A typical group has 15 to 30 members who meet weekly, biweekly or monthly. A typical meeting lasts 60–90 minutes.
• There is no instructor in a Toastmasters meeting. Instead, members evaluate one another’s presentations. This feedback process is a key part of the program’s success. Meeting participants also give impromptu talks on assigned topics, conduct meetings and develop skills related to timekeeping, grammar and parliamentary procedure.

Why should I join?

• Increase your self-confidence
• Become a better speaker
• Become a better leader
• Communicate more effectively
