Rio Grande Valley Toastmasters - District 55

Rio Grande Valley Toastmasters - District 55 Toastmasters: Where Leaders Are Made. Toastmasters International is a world leader in communication and leadership development. There is no instructor.

Today, the membership is 260,000 strong. These members improve their speaking and leadership skills by attending one of the 12,500-plus clubs that make up the global network of meeting locations. Since 1924, more than 4 million people around the world have become more confident speakers and leaders because of their participation in Toastmasters. Toastmasters are members of a Club comprised of appr

oximately 20 people that meets weekly or bi-weekly for an hour or two. Participants practice and learn communication and leadership skills by filling meeting roles, for example giving a prepared speech, giving an impromptu speech, or giving an oral evaluation of a fellow member's speech. Instead, each speech as well as the meeting are critiqued by a member in a positive manner, focusing on what was done right and suggestions for improvement. Members learn speaking skills by working in the Competent Communication manual, a series of 10 self-paced speaking assignments designed to instill a basic foundation in public speaking. Members also learn leadership skills by taking on various meeting roles and working in the Competent Leadership manual. In our learn-by-doing approach, we don't lecture members about leadership skills; we give them responsibilities and mentoring to help. Then we ask them to lead.
