How
Toastmasters works.
- Your improved presentation skills
will win you the respect and admiration of your colleagues and
employees - and make them wonder what you did to change!
- Leadership skills acquired through
participation in Toastmasters will increase your management
potential.
- As a Toastmaster you will acquire an
increased ability to motivate and persuade, making you more
effective as a supervisor or manager.
How
The Program Works
- 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.
- Workshop style Success/Leadership
programs are also available, offering opportunities for further
skill development in areas such as leadership, public speaking and
conducting business meetings. These programs are especially
effective as in-house training and can be tailored to meet the needs
of your company.
