Since 1924, Toastmasters International has helped millions of men and women become more confident in front of an audience. Our network of clubs and their learn-by-doing programme are sure to help you become a better speaker and leader.
Toastmasters will give you the skills and confidence you need to effectively express yourself in any situation. Whether you are a professional, student, stay-at-home parent, unemployed or retiree, Toastmasters is the most efficient, enjoyable and affordable way of gaining great communication skills. By learning to effectively formulate and express your ideas, you open an entirely new world of possibilities. You’ll be more persuasive and confident when giving presentations, and you’ll improve your one-on-one dealings with others.
Don’t worry! Everyone in a Toastmasters club was once at the level you are now. The environment is friendly and supportive, and the self-paced programme allows you to build confidence with each speaking assignment. And you’ll love the applause! Constructive evaluation is the heart of the Toastmasters programme. Each time you give a prepared speech, an evaluator will point out strengths and suggest improvements. At first you’ll be applauded for your effort; later you’ll be applauded for your skill.
You won’t regret it. Toastmasters currently has more than 200,000 members in 92 countries.
Our club Dundalk is just one of the more than 11,500 clubs located around the world. In the year 2009/10 we have 26 members.
Toastmasters are volunteers who want to improve their own speaking and leadership skills. Members come from all walks of life and represent a cross section of the community. They must be 18 years old to join. Our meetings are non-political, non-religious and open to all cultures, races and creeds.
There are no teachers in a Toastmasters club; members take turns giving speeches and being evaluated by their peers. The programme is self-paced and you get to choose your own speech topics. Members are friendly and supportive - you can`t help but become a better speaker !
