A Typical Meeting

Although many people believe the focal point of a Toastmasters meeting is the educational portion where three or four members deliver prepared speeches, the meeting also includes activities for other members to develop communication skills.

At a typical club meeting, members get a chance to run a meeting, develop impromptu speaking skills, give prepared speeches, develop listening skills, and serve in a variety of roles designed to maximize opportunities to speak. We maintain a friendly environment that encourages members to develop communication and leadership skills at their own pace. Most of us started out being afraid to speak in public, but after a few months of membership and club support, we became very comfortable with our new-found talents.

Note: Toastmasters, please do not use this as a meeting planner or agenda. Go to the member section.
