Do you dread speaking in front of others?
Do you want to develop your communication and leadership skills? If your answer is "YES" to each question, feel free to join O'Fallon Toastmasters Club 994!
The mission of a Toastmaster Club is to provide a mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which every member has the opportunity to develop communication and leadership skills, which in turn foster self-confidence and personal growth.
At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to the group and working with each other in a supportive environment.
A typical Toastmasters club is made up of 10 to 20 people who meet once a week for 1-2 hours.
Each meeting gives everyone an opportunity to practice. "CONDUCTING MEETINGS".
Meetings usually end with a short business session which helps members learn basic meeting procedures.
"GIVING IMPROMPTU SPEECHES". Members present one-to-two-minute impromptu speeches on assigned topics.
"PRESENTING PREPARED SPEECHES". Two or more members present speeches based on projects from the Toastmasters International Communication Programs. These projects cover such topics as speech organization, voice, language, gestures, and persuasion.
"OFFERING CONSTRUCTIVE EVALUATION". Every project speaker is assigned an evaluator who points out speech strengths and offers suggestions for improvement.
We meet in-person at the O'Fallon Township Hall on Thursdays at 7PM. We ONLY meet virtually via zoom on the 3rd Thursday of each month.
