Getting evaluation/feedback is a critical part of improving our Toastmaster abilities. Speakers at our club are evaluated by a three member Evaluation Panel. Each speaker is evaluated for Delivery/Style, Content, and Manual Project objectives.

http://dandeestudio.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association Toastmasters International is a world leader in communication and leadership development. Our organization has more than 332,000 memberships. Members improve their speaking and leadership skills by attending one of the 15,400 clubs in 135 countries that make up our global network of meeting locations.
Every Toastmasters journey begins with a single speech. During their journey, they learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedback—and accept it. Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership.
Toastmasters provide me a platform to enhance my communication and organizational skills. It also helps me to expand my networks. I love toastmasters since every time I learn something new by listening to various speakers.
Gaurav Gupta
As an introvert, I like to just sit and listen, or go somewhere quiet and read a book. It’s easier, and feels safer. But because of my experience in Toastmasters, I can speak with confidence when I do get up in front of people, and I know I communicate effectively and that I continue to improve.
Pauline Evans
Toastmasters for me provide an intentional way to push and expand myself to be the best me, in a fun, manageable, goal oriented environment filled with incomparable support!
Monique Kuhns
Toastmasters have provided me with more than just an opportunity to hone my skills as a public speaker. It has given me insight in to how the organization has impacted the people it touches and how it really changes people’s lives. To me, that is a bigger drawing force than improving myself as a professional.
Ben Wilker
I was a member of Toastmasters 23 years ago and gained valuable experience in developing my presentation skills for work. I rejoined six months ago after recovering from a traumatic head injury that effected my communication and confidence. It only made sense to return to the organization that gave me my confidence to begin with.
