Speak Easy Toastmasters Club, Mallow return on Sept 4th....What is Toastmasters anyway?

Speak Easy Toastmasters Club, Mallow return on Sept 4th

Summer is almost over and it is almost time to start thinking of what to do for the long evenings. This year, why not try something different?

Whether you are a professional, student, stay-at-home parent or retiree, Toastmasters is the best way to build great communication skills.You will learn how to successfully organize and present your ideas and yourself. Toastmasters will give you the skills and confidence you need to effectively express yourself in any situation.

A Toastmasters club is not a classroom, it is a workshop where members meet once a fortnight to learn communication skills, such as how to speak with confidence, think on your feet, listen effectively, make new friends and, most importantly, to enjoy themselves.

Speak Easy Toastmasters Club, Mallow returns on Sept 4th

Speak Easy Toastmasters Club, Mallow returns on Sept 4th

Moving to a new place can be both exciting and daunting so if you have just moved to Mallow for work or college, you’re very welcome! If you would like to meet some new people, why not drop into Speakeasy Toastmasters?

When I first moved to Mallow, I remember trying to decide which clubs to join. Some clubs were obviously not for me, men’s soccer was clearly not going to be my thing, nor was river fishing…too much cold water! When I read about Speakeasy Toastmasters in this newspaper, I was curious…an entire club dedicated to talking…I wanted to go, but had to find backup in the form of a housemate…just in case!

The relief when we heard that visitors are never asked to speak during a Toastmaster’s meeting was unbelievable! Members were very friendly, easy going and there was not the slightest risk of standing in awkward silence during the tea-breaks or in the bar afterwards. With club exchanges with local clubs, international competitions and weekends away, there's always something happening. Give it a try and see for yourself!
