Fleurieu Toastmasters Club

How Toastmasters works - At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive environment. A typical Toastmasters Club is made up of about 20 people who meet twice each month for two and a half hours. Each meeting gives everyone an opportunity to practice: • Conducting meetings. Meetings usually begin with a short business session which helps members learn basic meeting procedures. • Giving impromptu speeches. Members present one-minute impromptu speeches on assigned topics. • Presenting prepared speeches. Three or more members present speeches based on projects from the Toastmasters International Communication and Leadership program manuals. Projects cover such topics as speech organization, voice, language, gestures, and persuasion. * Taught how to conduct workshops using an overhead projector, flowchart and project the communication from you laptop onto a screen.
