Unlock the key to conquering Glossophobia, the fear of public speaking, and learn how to step confidently into leadership roles with the guidance of Toastmasters International.
In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of this global not-for-profit organisation, that has been fostering effective communication and leadership skills since 1924. I'll share how clubs are organised, was happens at club meetings, and how the Pathways education program and other aspects of this incredible organisation can help YOU.
We'll also discuss the broad benefits of being a Toastmaster, not just for public speaking, but also for your professional success. Hear how 70% of employed individuals consider presentation skills crucial for success and how 85% of Toastmasters reported a boost in confidence from participating in the organisation.
Beyond public speaking, Toastmasters fosters personal and professional development by nurturing skills such as leadership, conflict resolution, and networking. The opportunity to take on various leadership roles within the club and beyond, provides hands-on experience in honing these highly transferable skills.
Let's dive in and explore the world of Toastmasters together.
