How Toastmasters Works

Members learn by speaking in their clubs and working together in a mutually supportive, safe, and friendly environment. Innovative Speakers meets weekly to allow each person the ability to speak and practice:

Conducting meetings. Meetings usually begin 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 three members present speeches based on projects from the Toastmasters International Communication and Leadership Program manuals. Projects cover such topics as speech organization, voice, language, gestures, and persuasion.

Offering constructive evaluation. Every prepared speaker is assigned an evaluator who points out speech strengths and offers suggestions for improvement. This is what really sets Toastmasters apart and is how members can improve quickly. The feedback and tips each member receives when they speak, helps them with their next speech project to emphasize their strengths and improve their overall presentation skills.
