Lifelong Skills

Do you need to speak at a social function, give a presentation at work or improve your communication skills for an interview then toastmasters can help you. As a member of a toastmasters club you learn communication and leadership skills that will benefit you in all aspects of your life. You will learn these skills in a very supportive environment and in an atmosphere of fun.

The excellent speaking and communicating skills of some our more experienced members were on display at our last meeting. These speakers have developed their skills by practice and by the help of the other members of the club. Every occasion a member gives a speech another member evaluates the speaker. The aim of the evaluator is to motivate the speaker and not to criticise. The evaluator commends what the speaker did well and gives a suggestion on how the speaker could improve for their next speech. If the speaker takes on board the suggestions the improvement in their speaking skills becomes very evident. I will give a more detailed report on our last meeting in next weeks report.

The clubs next meeting will take place on Thursday 29th of October. The meeting will begin at 8pm and finish at 10pm and takes place in the Garden room in the Hibernian Hotel.

Guests are always very welcome and will never be asked to speak. For more information about the club please go to our website at www.speakeasytoastmasters.com
