Our Club offers a professional, yet informal, atmosphere for learning more effective communication skills that will lead to increased ability to motivate and persuade, increased visibility and recognition, and increased respect and admiration of your colleagues.
The Toastmasters program exposes each participant to a wide range of communication experiences. You can participate in the program at your own pace.
- Each new Toastmaster receives a New Member Kit. The kit features a copy of the basic Communication and Leadership manual, general orientation materials and information regarding skill improvement in areas such as speech evaluation and the use of gestures.
- The initial prepared speeches, as outlined in the basic Communication and Leadership program manual, are designed with the new Toastmaster in mind.
- A variety of assigned speeches help the participant develop competency in areas such as organization, voice inflection, and persuasiveness.
- During the meeting's Table Topics session, members learn to think on their feet by delivering short impromptu speeches, lasting one to two minutes.
- After giving a prepared speech, each Toastmaster receives a constructive speech evaluation. This process recognizes speakers for their strengths and provides valuable insight into problem areas.
- Upon completion of the basic Communication and Leadership program, Toastmasters may participate in the Advanced Communication and Leadership program. Participants may choose from specific business oriented topics such as Speeches by Management and Technical Presentations.
