Give amazing work presentations
Lead meetings and participate in them more confidently
Speak smoothly and with greater confidence off-the-cuff

Our club is a place where you learn by doing
You will feel welcome and valued - from beginners to advanced speakers. In a club meeting, you will practice giving prepared and impromptu speeches.
The Toastmasters Pathways program allows you to progress at your own pace: for each prepared speech, an evaluator points out strengths and suggests improvements.
Advance in your personal goals
Want to be better at negotiating your salary with your boss? Networking at business or social functions?
By learning to effectively formulate, organize, and express your ideas to others, you can achieve success.
You'll be more capable and confident when giving presentations.
You'll be more persuasive when working with prospective clients.
How do our meetings look like?
Welcoming everyone
Introduce the meeting theme (changes every meeting!)
One to three members present 5-7 minute speeches (Each member gets assigned an evaluator)
Impromptu speaking opportunities!
You can answer an impromptu question. You'll get 1-2 minutes to talk about it (for example: "What's your favorite holiday and why?")
There will be between 3 and 7 questions where you can practice thinking on your feet!
Evaluators give constructive feedback about each speaker who presented a 5-7 minutes speech.
Everyone gets feedback about our participation during the meeting:
Did we all stay on time?
Did we use too many filler words or sounds ("um", "so", "like", etc)
Did we make grammar mistakes? Did we use some cool new words?
Awards are given out! Who did it best today?
Closing our meeting. See you next time!
