Table Topics - Impromptu Speaking, aka, unprepared 😲 Speaking. The timing is 1 - 2 Minutes.

It's a short speech, should have an Introduction, Body and Conclusion.

You get given a Topic and you speak to it. Great learning skills.

This new Member did a fabulous job, used great body language because he spoke about something he knew well, felt passionate about.

Toastmasters teaches you thd art of Storytelling.

It's in the journey the day you decide:
"Yes, I am going to do this".

You've got a story, we all do, let's learn to craft it well because you never know the impact it will have on your audience.

How storytelling helps you engage audiences and make sales.

We had a great event last night.

We looked at Pathways (our Education Program) and our Vice President Education encouraged us to go through the invaluable online material that assists you on your journey of self development, gaining confidence and honing those presentation skills.

We also had a total of 5 Speakers. 3 Ice Breakers as new Members embark on this journey of self discovery.

Our family is growing. Our next event is 27 August.

When you become a Toastmaster, you start maybe wanting to make that perfect speech but you are fearful because you might not show up like that.

The best thing about Toastmasters is that it's all about you and your developing strong communication skills, growing in confidence and stepping out of your comfort zone.

Nothing happens though without action. You had a plan - you join, right? Don't let fear stop you from the second important aspect of planning - ACTION.

At events, Members get to follow Toastmasters Pathways Program. There are 6 Paths to choose from. All of them will grow your Public Speaking skills and confidence. There are other skills as well and each Path completed will develop 300 competencies.

This is a Toastmaster delivering one of his projects.

It's a safe environment and peer feedback provides the Speaker with recommendations to enhance further projects while defining what were the great aspects of the presentation.
