Whether it’s a job interview, a presentation in the office, or defending your master thesis, sooner or later we all experience moments in our lives and careers where we need to stand up and address an audience. Knowing how to speak and be heard and understood is an important skill that allows you to reach your full potential. Toastmaster clubs offer a platform for practicing communication and leadership skills in a safe environment and with a proven method. Members meet on a regular basis in clubs and practice their skills in front of peers. The stage is a lab where new and experienced members can keep returning to hone the skills they already have, and those they want to build up.
