Testimonials
“TOASTMASTERS IS THE BEST THING EVER! It has changed me and my life and I tell anyone who will listen how great it is 😀 This has mostly been because of all of you and I can’t express enough how much I love you all and I’m so proud of the great things and magic that happens at each and every meeting! Facing and overcoming fear, developing confidence, and improving oneself is such an honourable thing to do as part of a supportive group.”
“Salisbury Speakers has given me an opportunity to develop my public speaking skills in a warm and friendly environment. There is a great mix of experience among the group, from long standing members who offer feedback freely, to newbies like myself. As with all skills, speaking requires practice and training and Salisbury Speakers provides an opportunity to do both. On top of this, you will receive constructive feedback from experienced speakers enabling you to eliminate the umms and ahhs, pacing and over excited hand movements that new speakers often suffer from. My confidence has already soared.”
“As President, Salisbury Speakers has given me the opportunity to become a leader. I am learning how to manage a team to run the club and also to develop its members. Salisbury Speakers offers everyone the opportunity to develop their leadership skills by taking on roles within meetings or being part of the management team. There are currently opportunities to lead or support membership growth, public relations, education and many other areas.”
“Ever since I can remember, I have avoided public speaking like the plague. In secondary school I would call in sick if I was asked to present, in Law School I hid in the back of the class and pretended I was not there and during my career as a lawyer, I always had an excuse handy if I was asked to present to a group. Needless to say, my career aspirations were limited by my lack of confidence. When I realised my promotional objectives at work included presenting to the Board, I realised that I needed to do something about it, so I joined Toastmasters.”
“I’m frightened to death most of the time about ‘thinking out loud’ in public. I joined Toastmaster’s in 2008. I’m now able to cover the cracks well enough with foundation, powder and paint but the fear factor never really disappears. I love learning and I’m curious to a fault. Helping to set up Salisbury Speakers has stretched me once again. I am constantly practicing and honing my communication skills from facilitating to mentoring; from presenting to appraising; sometimes challenging, sometimes accepting the status quo. The camaraderie is what keeps me at Toastmasters, and Salisbury Speakers has it in bucket loads.”
