Have you heard of the toastmasters? Check out their pitch:

Worried about your next big presentation?

TOASTMASTERS CAN HELP!

  • Develop better speaking and presentation skills
  • Learn to think quickly and clearly on your feet
  • Build strong leadership abilities

The Toastmasters program will help you to develop your communication skills and open doors in your personal and professional life. Instead of laboring in an academic setting, or spending up to thousands on costly seminars, you learn in a self-paced atmosphere of understanding and helpful fellowship. To learn more about Toastmasters International and our unique Communication and Leadership program.

… And for those in Makati (Philippines), you can visit us every 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month at the Penthouse of the Old Makati Stock Exchange, Ayala Ave., Makati City, starting at 6:30p.m. It’s the CPAs and Friends Toastmasters Club regular meeting.

No commitment to join, just do drop by and observe and be our
esteemed guests.

I’ve actually been through a toastmaster seminar once. The speaker gave good inputs on voice projection and pronunciation as well as pointers on presenting with software tools such as PowerPoint. You guys might want to check it out.

    Is there a guarantee that I could learn a lot in terms of communicaition, presentation & leadership skill?

    Is this a training or seminar?

    Guarantee? Is there such a thing? I’m not a toastmaster. It seems to be a formal club of sorts. I’m not the person you need to talk to but I’ll do some digging to find out how you can get in touch with them.

    1. Membership varies from club to club. Usually 2.5K to 3K for the first six months which includes the New Member Kit, subscription to Toastmaster magazine, and 2 additional advanced manuals once you complete 10 speech projects. Every six months thereafter, it is usually 1.5K and for that you continue your subscription to Toastmaster magazine.

    2. 18 and up. Students, professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, university professors, nurses, government employees, housewives, retirees, and those in-between jobs.

    3. Toastmasters engage mainly in speaking and they get constructive evaluation for their speeches. When you complete 10 speeches you get a Competent Communicator norm plus the certificate. The meetings are usually done over lunch or dinner.

    4. You will be more confident in speaking in front of an audience, you will become a better communicator.

    In summary, Toastmasters is a training club. Check out two of the more active clubs out there Emperor Toastmasters and CaMaNaVa Toastmasters.
