TOASTMASTERS INTERNATIONAL

Toastmasters International (TMI) is a non-profit,
educational and public benefit organization in which
members can develop the skills needed to effectively
communicate within today’s challenging environment.
The first Toastmasters club was established in 1924 by
Dr. Ralph C. Smedley, who initiated and developed the
idea of helping others to speak more effectively.





“Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your
communication skills so that when important occasions
arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the
clarity, and the emotions to affect other people.”

In a Typical Toastmasters Meeting,

Prepared speeches are presented by members. These
speeches are based on assignments in the Toastmasters`
training manuals which are designed to help speakers improve
their public speaking skills.

Evaluations by experienced club members provide feedback
on prepared speeches and the meeting itself.

Table Topics give members (and guests if they like!) the
opportunity to practice impromptu speaking skills.

Round Table Session allows all members to participate in
delivering a short speech on the ‘Theme of Day’.






Not only that,

In every Toastmasters Meeting, members will get
opportunities to improve their leadership qualities by
becoming a Role Player such as Toastmaster of the Day, Table
Topic Master, Timer, Grammarian, Word Master, and Joke
Master.

Moreover,

A mentor, an experienced Toastmaster will guide you
throughout your journey in becoming a Leader, which you
want to be.
