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 20 to 30 people who meet once every second or third week for about an hour. Each meeting gives everyone an opportunity to
practice:
Conducting meetings
Meetings usually begin with a short business session which helps members learn meeting procedures, followed by a Thought of the Day.
Giving impromptu speeches
Members present one-to two-minute impromptu speeches on assigned topics, so called Table 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.
Offering constructive evaluation
Every prepared speaker is assigned an evaluator who points out speech strengths and offers suggestions for improvement.
The tools you use
When joining a Toastmasters club, each new member receives a variety of manuals and resources on speaking. Members also have access to
other books as well as audio and video cassettes on speaking and leading. They also receive the award-winning The Toastmaster, a monthly
magazine that offers the latest insights on speaking and leadership techniques.
