Is the fear of speaking in front of people holding you back?

Do you wish you could speak confidently in any situation?

Are you tongue-tied when the boss asks you a question?

Here at Didsbury Speakers Toastmasters Club we have plenty of fun whilst helping you to develop your speaking skills in a supportive, relaxed atmosphere. You can:

Gain practice in giving speeches.
Learn how to prepare a speech.
Get practice speaking off-the-cuff.
Receive immediate and constructive feedback, in a warm, supportive, non-threatening environment.

Our philosophy is basically - learn by doing, but Toastmasters is a lot more than just learning how to deliver speeches.

In addition, you will learn how to speak on your feet, provide positive feedback, run a meeting, and hone your leadership skills, oh and did we mention, have lots of FUN doing it!

Didsbury Speakers club members are all ages, and come from all walks of life, different cultures, nationalities and educational backgrounds, so come along and see what we do.

What are the benefits of becoming a Toastmaster?

Whether you’re a professional, student, stay-at-home parent or retiree, Toastmasters is the best way to improve your communication skills. We can help you lose the fear of public speaking and learn skills that will help you be more successful in whatever path in life you’ve chosen. You’ll become a better listener. You’ll learn to lead teams and conduct meetings, and be able to give and receive constructive evaluation. If you already have some or all of these skills, you will enhance them at Toastmasters!
