Experienced Toastmasters leaders and locals M.E. Lawlor and Jose Zirena are forming a Club in the Waterbury-Stowe-Morrisville area. Since 1924, Toastmasters International has helped millions of men and women become more confident in front of an audience. It is a learn-by-doing program that helps individuals become better speakers and leaders. In a Toastmasters club, members learn to relax, plan and present a terrific speech – whether they have 10 days to prepare or just 10 seconds. Members learn to listen effectively, think on their feet and speak confidently in a wide range of situations. Best of all, members practice in a friendly, supportive environment with people who are there for the same reasons they are – to become better communicators and leaders.
The new initiative will be hosting a demonstration meeting on Wednesday, May 4th from 5-6pm at the Stowe Free Library in the Meeting Room. Individuals and businesspeople are welcome. The meeting will include: an introduction; demonstrations of a short speech and an impromptu speech; an evaluation of a speech where the speaker gets valuable feedback; and a question and answer period.
