Dave Schaal, DTM Share your Toastmaster Experience |

Think back to when you were new to Toastmasters. Were you nervous about speaking, table topics, even giving a timer’s report? Compare your abilities and your confidence level from then to what they are now. You might be relatively new to Toastmasters, or a seasoned member. In any case I am sure that your abilities and confidence have grown! Read More |

Promoting Your Club Speech Contest |

Speech contests are an easy opportunity to showcase your club and how Toastmasters can help guests interested in Toastmasters. To effectively promote your club speech contest, utilize a multi-channel approach including social media posts, club newsletters, in-person announcements, flyers, engaging visuals, highlighting potential benefits for participants, and encourage member-to-member promotion, all while emphasizing the date, time, and theme of the contest.

The two clubs of which I am a member, Dan Patch and VAMC, are both sponsoring Speechcraft programs in January and February, respectively. How cool is that? Read More |
