The proven way to help you speak and lead.
Congratulations – you’re on your way to becoming a better communicator and leader! Toastmasters International, founded in 1924, is a proven product, regarded as the leading organization dedicated to communication and leadership skill development. As a member, you will gain all the tools, resources, and support you need.
Toastmasters helps nearly 280,000 people communicate effectively and achieve the confidence to lead others through its worldwide network of clubs. So why pay thousands of dollars for a seminar or class when you can join a Toastmasters club for a fraction of the cost and have fun in the process?
What’s in it for you?
Toastmasters is a place where you develop and grow – both personally and professionally. You join a community of learners, and in Toastmasters meetings, we learn by doing. Whether you’re an executive or a stay-at-home parent, a college student, or a retiree, you will improve yourself; building skills to express yourself in various situations. You’ll open up a world of new possibilities: giving better work presentations, leading meetings – and participating in them – more confidently; speaking more smoothly off the cuff; even handling one-on-one interactions with family, friends, and colleagues more positively.
How does it work?
The environment in a Toastmasters club is friendly and supportive. Everyone at a Toastmasters meeting feels welcome and valued – from complete beginners to advanced speakers. You practice giving prepared speeches and brief impromptu presentations in a club meeting, known as Table Topics. There is no rush and pressure: The Toastmasters program allows you to progress at your own pace.
Constructive evaluation is central to the Toastmasters philosophy. Each time you give a prepared speech, an evaluator will point out strengths and suggest improvements. Receiving – and giving – such feedback is a great learning experience. In Toastmasters, encouragement, and improvement go hand-in-hand.
Toastmasters currently has more than 332,000 members in 135 countries. Our club is just one of the more than 15,400 clubs located around the world.
Good leaders are good communicators.
Anyone who is a strong leader has first to be an effective communicator. In Toastmasters, you will hone your speaking skills, and you will develop leadership abilities – through evaluations, listening, mentoring, serving as club officers, and filling roles in club meetings. Then, you will take those leadership skills out into the world, running businesses, mentoring youths, organizing fund-raisers, coaching teams, and heading up families.
