HOW DOES TOASTMASTER WORK?
At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive environment. A typical Toastmasters club is made up of 20 to 30 people who meet once a week for approximately an hour. Each meeting gives members several opportunities:
1
Conduct meetings
Members learn how to plan and conduct meetings.
2
Give impromptu speeches
Members present one- to two-minute, impromptu speeches about assigned topics.
3
Present prepared speeches
Two or more members present speeches based on projects from manuals in Toastmasters’ proven communication and leadership programs. Projects cover topics such as speech organization, vocal variety, language, gestures and persuasion.
4
Offer constructive evaluation
Every speaker is assigned an evaluator who points out speech strengths and offers suggestions for improvement
