What is Toastmasters?

Many people whom I have met still have no clue, what Toastmasters is all about. Some of the interesting findings are, “Toastmasters is a baking club”  or A Bakers organisation.

I have heard from one of the club that I have visited, had a walk-in guest that thought the club was holding some cooking class. Eventually the walk-in guest joined the toastmasters club and went on to complete “The Competent Communicator Manual” and become a Toastmasters Competent Communicator. Morever to surprise you, the walk in guest is a 70 year old lady. This is one of the most amazing toastmasters story I have heard.

Bascially Toastmasters International is an internationl Nonprofit Organisation that now has nearly 250,000 members in more than 12,500 clubs in 106 countries, offering a proven – and enjoyable! – way to practice and hone communication and leadership skills.

Most Toastmasters meetings are comprised of approximately 20-30 people who meet monthly for about 2-3 hours. Participants practice and learn skills by filling a meeting role, ranging from giving a prepared speech or an impromptu one to serving as timer, (project, general or language evaluator). There is no instructor; instead, each speech and meeting is critiqued by a member in a positive manner, focusing on what was done right and what could be improved.
