The Advantages of the Toastmasters Experience

About six years ago I won a $1500.00 course from a business that teaches public speaking. It was an intense course with a very good instructor. I was also videoed so that I could see my strengths and weaknesses.

As a Toastmaster of eight years I can honestly say that although the course was excellent, I did not learn anything that I couldn’t learn through Toastmasters. The advantage to Toastmasters is that you continue to grow and learn, improving your speaking and leadership skills, thereby increasing your chances of growth in your chosen field.

The best part of our club, Executive Toastmasters (no you do not have to be an executive to join) is the encouraging, relaxed and friendly atmosphere where you speak on your own terms and get honest critiques in a manner that encourages both personal and professional growth. We are the most diverse of the diverse and yet we are a warm and friendly group. Our meetings at 7 am every Wednesday are high energy and great fun. We care about each other and we laugh a lot.
