Toastmasters is a great way to form new connections. By listening to the stories of fellow members, friendships will quickly form!

Build leadership Skills

The skills learned at Toastmasters will create opportunities and help you communicate more effectively.

How it works

Each meeting is divided into three parts – prepared speeches, impromptu speeches and evaluations.

Prepared Speeches

Prepared speeches are scheduled in advance and are typically 5 – 7 minutes in length. These speeches are part of the Toastmasters Pathways Learning Programme and allow members to practice a more formal style of speaking.

Impromptu Speaking

We practice impromptu speaking through a method called table topics. This is where participants are given random questions and try to speak on them for 1 – 2 minutes. This may sound daunting, but it is actually lots of fun and is a valuable skill for everyday life.

Evaluations

Everyone who speaks is evaluated. We do this in an encouraging way so that you can quickly understand your strengths and identify the next steps. This is one of the main benefits of coming to Toastmasters!
