What Members Say
Actual testimonials from Toastmasters members
I’m a graduate student and Key City Toastmasters has given me the confidence and skills needed to give effective and engaging presentations in all my classes. This close-knit, supportive club is a great place to come build your communication skills.
Robin Higgins, MS
We all know how important communication is in business and in life and how daunting it can be to many; Toastmasters’ program develops confidence in people to effectively communicate.
Mike Fasulo, President and Chief Operating Officer, Sony Electronics Inc.
Before Toastmasters, I didn’t really have the confidence to talk with other people and share myself. After Toastmasters, I got myself back. I got confidence back.
Sara Safari, DTM
They taught me that it’s okay to be nervous. It’s about taking that nervous energy and turning it into positive energy. Toastmasters is really good at helping you build confidence.
Andrew Clumpus, Financial Analyst
I have been promoted at my job six times since becoming a Toastmaster. Every speaking and leadership opportunity advances your own skills and helps others along the way. The question you should be asking yourself is, ‘Why didn’t I join a club sooner?’
