Last week we welcomed guests from a local business who came to Earlybird for a simple reason: their boss told them Toastmasters would make them better at their jobs.

We think the boss is right.

Running a meeting, pitching an idea, answering a tough question from a client, giving feedback to your team. Every one of those is a speaking skill, and every one gets easier with practice in a room where it's safe to stumble.

That's what we do every week, before most people have finished their coffee. You'll be done in time for work, and you'll show up a little sharper.

Guests are always welcome. No pressure to speak your first time.

📍We meet in person every Friday morning from 7:15-8:30 a.m. at the Fort Lewis College Innovation Center, 835 Main Ave., Suite 225 on the second floor of the Main Mall. Park in the bank parking lot to the west and come in the back door in the alley.

Come see what your boss is talking about.

This week our VP of Education, Roger Williams, took the stage at Digital Summit Atlanta. He gave a presentation on how foundational websites are in the age of AI.

As a regular Toastmaster member for over a year Roger drew on his experience with the group to deliver a professional speech. By attending our Friday meetings and participating he has been able to elevate his speaking capabilities.

Come and join us this Friday to learn more.

October means the holiday season is about to kick into gear: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, all the parties, toasts, and family gatherings where you're suddenly asked to say a few words. If the thought of that makes you want to hide in the kitchen, you're exactly who we'd love to see this Friday.

Earlybird Toastmasters Durango has been helping people build public speaking and leadership skills since 1953, in a room that's supportive, not scary. Whether you want to get more comfortable speaking up at work, lead more confidently, or just not freeze when someone hands you the mic at Thanksgiving, this is where people go to practice.

We meet Fridays at 7:15 AM at the Fort Lewis Center for Innovation, downtown Durango. Come as a guest, watch, jump in if you want, zero pressure. This Friday, October 2, we're talking about exactly this: how to walk into a busy, high-pressure season ready to speak with confidence instead of dread.

📍 Fort Lewis Center for Innovation | 🕐 Fridays, 7:15–8:30 AM | Guests always welcome

How many "like's," "um's," "ah's," "ya' know" (etc) would you like to remove from your vocabulary?

Toastmasters is a wonderful organization to improve public speaking and leadership skills.

Come join us Fridays at 7:15 am. It's a fun and educational way to start your day!
