Welcome to Wimberley Hill Country Toastmasters!
Yes you can be a better public speaker. Great things come to those
who speak well. Well, great-er things anyway. Better jobs, more
opportunities, being admired by friends and family, and called upon to
deliver the funny speech at a friend's wedding, the moving tribute to a
retiring colleague, or the rousing roast of your boss on his birthday.
You can learn to stand up to City Hall and speak with conviction, sit
on a committee or board and be heard and respected, teach a class or
seminar effectively, or read poetry at the local coffee shop.
ToastMasters gives you the confidence and the skills to do whatever
you want with your desire to comunicate. And because it is a club, not
a course - it isn't expensive or intimidating. It's about as scary as
your book club or bible study group. You practice, you watch your club
mates practice, and you help each other get better.
There's more, of course, but that's a big part of it.
The other part is leadership. Employers like leadership skills, and
they'll look closer at your credentials when ToastMasters is among
them. You want to run things, learn marketing, mentor others, plan
events and contests, or manage the books? The leadership track works
just like the speech track - you have a book full of projects with lots
of great instructions, and you complete them one by one. You can choose
from multiple manuals to work on the skills you want most, in the same
supportive, positive environment you get with speaking.
Aren't you glad you asked?
Our club meets every 1st and 3rd Saturday from 10:30 - 11:30 AM @ the Wimberley Visitor's Center on RR 12. Contact our VP Membership, Ron Steel @ for more information.
Thanks, and we hope to see you soon!
