The Williams Lake Toastmasters will host an open house at the Ramada Hotel on Wednesday, Jan. 27 from 7 to 8:15 p.m.
Founded in 1924, Toastmasters International is a non-profit educational organization for people to improve their public speaking, communication and leadership skills.
Club members learn by doing, with guidance from member mentors who come from a wide variety of backgrounds and experience levels.
There is no rush and no pressure.
Members progress at their own pace practicing giving prepared speeches as well as brief impromptu presentations known as table topics.
Fellow members evaluate and provide feedback and encouragement for each other.
Through its worldwide network of clubs Toastmasters helps nearly 280,000 people communicate effectively and achieve the confidence to lead others.
Toastmasters is a place to develop and grow, both personally and professionally.
Whether you’re an executive, stay at home parent, a college student or a retiree, you’ll open a world of new possibilities: giving better work presentations; leading meetings, and participating in them, more confidently; speaking more smoothly off the cuff; mentoring youth, organizing fundraisers, coaching teams, even handling one-on-one interactions with family, friends and colleagues more positively.
The membership fee is $10 per month.
