THE TOASTMASTERS EXPERIENCE

Today you may be more comfortable communicating by electronic mail or telephone than communicating face-to-face.  Speaking to large or small groups, or even one-to-one, may intimidate or frighten you.  In Toastmasters you will learn how to successfully formulate, express, and sell your ideas and yourself.  You will get rid of that nervousness you feel when called upon to speak.  You will improve your ability to listen to and evaluate other people's ideas, and you will learn leadership skills along the way.

By joining our Toastmasters Club you will embark on a journey that will greatly improve your life.

The Toastmasters program is not a college, trade school or other formal course in public speaking. There are no instructors, professors, or classrooms. No one's work is graded and no tests are administered. In Toastmasters, members learn by completing a Pathways Project online through Pathways via Toastmasters International, practicing and helping one another. Learning takes place in your home and/or in a Club environment. Club meetings are workshops where you study and practice communication and leadership skills with others who are there for the same reason as you.
