What is Toastmasters International?
No we don't make toasters and it has got nothing to do with the Masons or toast! (we promise!)
From a humble beginning in 1924 at the YMCA in Santa Ana, California, Toastmasters International has grown to become a world leader in helping people become more competent and comfortable in front of an audience.
The non-profit organization now has nearly 250,000 members in more than 12,500 clubs in 106 countries, offering a proven (and enjoyable!) way to practice and hone communication and leadership skills.
Most Toastmasters meetings are comprised of approximately 20 people who meet weekly for an hour or two. Participants practice and learn skills by filling a meeting role, ranging from giving a prepared speech or an impromptu one to serving as timer, evaluator or grammarian.
There is no instructor; instead, each speech and meeting is critiqued by a member in a positive manner, focusing on what was done right and what could be improved.
Where do we meet?
Grays Hotel, Telford, (Just off J5 of the M54) every 3rd Wednesday in the month at 7.15pm
Just come along to see if it's for you; no obligation, no fee for observers; you can bring a friend too.
If you do decide to join you can attend whenever it suits you and go at your own pace, you will be given your starter pack which will give you lots of information and training on shaping and delivering your speeches and on developing your leadership skills.
