Have you heard of Toastmaster's? It's a worldwide club for people who want to become better at public speaking and leadership. Members meet regularly in a supportive, friendly environment where everyone has a chance to practice giving speeches thinking on their feet, and leading meetings.
Below are some fun facts about Toastmasters gathered from the internet:
Almost 100 Years Young – Toastmasters started in
1924. That means it’s older than TV, sliced bread, and definitely older than
your phone battery.
Not About Toast – Despite the name, there’s no
champagne, no wedding toasts, and no buttered bread. Just people learning to
speak without turning beet red.
Celebrity
Toasties – Comedian Tim Allen is a Toastmaster. So technically, every time
you laugh at Home Improvement reruns, you’re laughing with us.
Cheap but Chic
– Membership costs less than a college textbook, and you’ll actually remember
what you learned.
Zoom Boom –
Now you can join meetings online. So yes, you can practice world-class
public speaking while wearing pajama bottoms.
