We meet every Thursday from 12:05pm to 1pm PST (Please email us at [email protected] to verify the location of each meeting you wish to attend because from time-to-time it changes based on the availability of our main meeting room.) The topics and basic thrust of club is helping professionals improve their professional public speaking. Other clubs exist that focus on improv and performance
or on a particular areas like real estate or finance. In addition, while supportive, the members of Crownmasters do give constructive criticism. If you visit other clubs, you will find some where the “evaluation” given is all positive and constructive criticism seems to be discouraged. Finally, since it is composed of professionals, everyone in this club has a life – both work and personal – outside of the club. Therefore, members on a number of occasions disappear from the club for months on end because of the pressures of work or otherwise. No one is made to feel bad for absence. Also, for the same reasons, members get to speak on their own schedule. Some members ask to give a prepared speech once or twice a month. Others have not given a prepared speech in over a year. Also, over time, many members have concluded, that unlike riding a bike, if they want to maintain a certain level of proficiency in public speaking, they need to have regular practice. Crownmasters is conveniently located, and the lunch meeting time means that every Wednesday, if you look at your lunch schedule and it’s free, you can go stand up in front of others and practice speaking before an audience. Come check out the club for yourself. You can come as many times as you want with no obligation. We look forward to meeting you!
