Celebrating 28 Years of
Excellence in
North County San Diego
How Toastmasters Works At North Coast Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to the group and working together in our supportive environment. Our club has 30 members, approximately 15 to 20 who attend weekly, as their schedule permits. Each meeting gives everyone an opportunity to speak and 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. Two or three 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. This is what really sets Toastmasters apart and is how members can improve quickly. The feedback and tips each member receives when they speak, helps them with their next speech project to emphasize their strengths and improve their overall presentation skills. |

The Tools You Use. Upon joining Toastmasters, you receive a variety of manuals and resources on speaking. You will also receive the award-winning The Toastmaster, a monthly magazine that offers the latest insights on speaking and leadership techniques. Toastmasters and Leadership. Leadership cannot be learned in a day. It takes practice. In Toastmasters members build leadership skills by organizing and conducting meetings and motivating others to help them. Club leadership roles and a leadership development program also offer opportunities to learn and practice. Just as Toastmasters members learn to speak simply by speaking, they learn leadership by leading. |

| Company Benefits. A company's success also depends on communication. Employees face an endless exchange of ideas, messages, and information as they deal with one another and with customers day after day. How well they communicate can determine whether a company quickly grows into an industry leader or joins thousands of other businesses mired in mediocrity. Toastmasters provides the tools that enable employees to become effective communicators and leaders all at a very low cost. Toastmasters training helps employees: give better sales presentations, hone their management skills, work better with fellow employees, effectively develop and present ideas, offer constructive criticism; and accept criticism more objectively. Toastmasters produces results. Around the world more than three million men and women of all ages and occupations have benefited from Toastmasters training, and more than one thousand corporations, community groups, universities, associations, and government agencies now use Toastmasters training. Toastmasters Meeting Community Benefits. Toastmasters has helped many members in their community service activities. Using the speaking and leadership skills developed in Toastmasters, people have become more active in business, churches, and service and charity organizations. Toastmasters members are able to organize activities, conduct meetings, and speak in public as their organization's representative. Some even become active in local, state or national government. About Toastmasters International. Toastmasters International is a non-profit organization governed by a Board of Directors elected by the membership. The first Toastmasters club was established on October 22, 1924, in Santa Ana, California, by Dr. Ralph C. Smedley, who conceived and developed the idea of helping others to speak more effectively. More clubs were formed, and Toastmasters International was incorporated under California law on December 19, 1932. The vision of Toastmasters International is to empower people to achieve their full potential and realize their dreams. Toastmasters is the leading movement devoted to making effective oral communication a worldwide reality.
