How Does Toastmasters Work?

This non-profit organization offers a proven – and enjoyable – way to
practice communication and leadership skills.

Here's how it works:
A Toastmasters meeting is a learn-by-doing workshop in which
participants hone their speaking and leadership skills in a friendly
atmosphere. A typical group has 20 to 40 members who meet weekly or
biweekly to practice public speaking techniques. The average meeting
lasts one hour.

Members learn communication skills by working in the Competent
Communication manual, a series of 10 self-paced speaking assignments
designed to instill a basic foundation in public speaking.
Participants learn skills related to use of humor, gestures, eye
contact, speech organization and overall delivery. When finished with
this manual, members can choose from 15 advanced manuals to learn
skills related to specific interests.

Members also learn leadership skills by taking on various meeting
roles and serving as officers at the club and district levels, and by
working in the Competent Leadership manual and the High Performance
Leadership program. In our learn-by-doing approach, we don't lecture
our members about leadership skills; we give them responsibilities
and ask them to lead.

There is no instructor in a Toastmasters meeting. Instead, members
evaluate one another's presentations. This feedback process is a key
part of the program's success. Meeting participants also give
impromptu talks on assigned topics, conduct meetings, serve as
officers in various leadership roles and learn rules related to
timing, grammar and parliamentary procedure.

Thousands of corporations sponsor in-house Toastmasters clubs.
Businesses and government organizations have discovered that
Toastmasters is an effective, cost-efficient means of meeting their
communication training needs.

Toastmasters groups also can be found in governmental agencies, as
well as in a variety of community organizations, prisons,
universities, hospitals, military bases and churches.

So, friends, don't miss this event!
