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 have helped me to better organize my thoughts and speak confidently in high stress situations and in public. I also like having the “safe space” to give and receive feedback as that helps both the giver of the feedback and the receiver of the feedback learn and grow.
Toastmasters are about more than speeches and even performance; it is about confidence, networking, and conversation. I love the opportunities to refine my skills and gain knowledge from watching other speakers.
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.
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!
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.
*Note: Members pay Toastmasters International dues of US $60 every six months. (Some clubs may charge additional fees.) All new members also pay a one-time US $20 fee.
