Toastmasters of Manchester is a wonderful group of people who meet every couple of weeks with a mission to improve our communication and leadership skills. We accomplish this by delivering prepared and impromptu speeches, being active listeners, providing constructive criticism in a supportive environment, and by having a lot of fun. The good humor evident in this first photo is present at all of our meetings. The one thing we always find time for at our meetings is laughter. There is a lot of amiable give and take between the many colorful characters who comprise our membership.
Become a Better Speaker
Toastmasters of Manchester is a chapter of Toastmasters International and the oldest Toastmasters club in Manchester. Since 1924, Toastmasters International has helped millions of men and women become more confident in front of an audience. Toastmasters clubs and their learn-by-doing program are sure to help you become a better speaker and leader. Why pay thousands of dollars for a seminar when you can join a Toastmasters club for a fraction of the cost and have so much fun in the process?
Toastmasters will give you the skills and confidence you need to effectively express yourself in any situation. Whether you are a professional, student, stay-at-home parent or retiree, Toastmasters is the most efficient, enjoyable and affordable way of gaining great communication skills. By learning to effectively formulate and express your ideas, you open an entirely new world of possibilities. You’ll be more persuasive and confident when giving presentations, and you’ll improve your one-on-one dealings with others.
How Does It Work?
Don’t worry! Everyone in a Toastmasters club was once at the level you are now. The environment is friendly and supportive, and the self-paced program allows you to build confidence with each speaking assignment. And you’ll love the applause! Constructive evaluation is the heart of the Toastmasters program. Each time you give a prepared speech, an evaluator will point out strengths and suggest improvements. At first you’ll be applauded for your effort; later you’ll be applauded for your skill.
