Better communication is one meeting away

Whether you are a professional, student, stay-at-home parent or retiree, Toastmasters is the best way to improve your communication skills.

ALBERTON – Whether you are a professional, student, stay-at-home parent or retiree, Toastmasters is the best way to improve your communication skills.

Toastmasters can help you lose the fear of public speaking and learn skills which will help you be more successful in whatever path in life you’ve chosen.

At Toastmasters, members also build leadership skills by organising and conducting meetings and motivating others to help them. Club leadership roles and a leadership development programmes also offer opportunities to learn and practice.

A company’s success also depends on communication. Employees face an endless exchange of ideas, messages, and information as they deal with one another and with customers day after day. How well they communicate can determine whether a company grows into an industry leader, or joins other businesses mired in mediocrity. Toastmasters provide the tools to enable employees to become effective communicators and leaders.

Around the world, more than three million men and women of all ages and occupations have benefited from Toastmasters training, and more than one thousand corporations, community groups, universities, associations, and government agencies now use Toastmasters training.

Toastmasters is for individuals 18 years or older. There are more than 170 000 members who are from a variety of occupations and backgrounds. They include doctors, auto mechanics, executives, teachers, homemakers, artists, college students, supervisors, attorneys, engineers, salespersons and more
