An evaluator will be assigned to you each time you give a prepared speech. Your evaluator will point out your presentation's strengths and offer suggestions for improving your next speech. At first you'll be recognized for your effort - later for your skills. In Toastmasters, you'll build leadership skills by organizing and conducting meetings and motivating others to help you. New members are offered a mentor to assist them in writing and presentation of speeches, and ensuring the new member feels welcome and obtains a full understanding of the tremendous benefits available.
Members proceed at their own speed.
When a member is confident enough to present a prepared speech, a time is allotted. No pressure is put on members to speak when they are not comfortable enough to do so. It is a fantastic and rewarding experience to watch the growth in speaking ability and confidence, in a matter of a few weeks, of new members. For more information, contact Fred Nelles at 578-4339.
