How Toastmasters works.
(
from http://www.toastmasters.org/about.asp)
At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to groups and working
with others in a supportive environment. A typical Toastmasters club
is made up of 20 to 30 people who meet once a week for about an
hour. Each meeting gives everyone an opportunity to 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. Three or more 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.
