Tobacco Valley Toastmasters
12:00 PM Glacier Bank
Description:
A Toastmasters meeting is a learn-by-doing workshop in which
participants hone their speaking and leadership skills in a friendly,
supportive atmosphere. A
typical group has 20 members who meet weekly or biweekly to practice
public speaking techniques. The meetings last one hour. Members learn
communication skills by working a series of 10 self-paced speaking
assignments designed to instill a basic foundation in public speaking.
Participants learn skills related to use of humor, gestures, eye
contact, speech organization and overall delivery. Members also learn
leadership skills by taking on various meeting roles. In our
learn-by-doing approach, we don't lecture our members about leadership
skills; we give them responsibilities and ask them to lead. There is no
instructor in a Toastmasters meeting. Instead, members evaluate one
another’s presentations. This feedback process is a key part of the
program’s success. Meeting participants also give impromptu talks on
assigned topics, conduct meetings, serve in various leadership roles
and learn rules related to timing, grammar and parliamentary procedure.
