Toastmaster International provides education in the form of short seminars that members present at their clubs. Toastmasters International provides the educational material and a set of sample slides. The member is further encouraged to research the subject and add to the slide deck. This means the member learns by doing and then presents the results of their efforts to the club.
On Monday our Vice President of Education will be presenting on the Commitment required to Achieve.
Guests are always welcome, both in person and on our Zoom link-up. Email, call or WhatsApp for more information.

August is "Woman's Month" in South Africa which celebrates the courage and leadership of women.
Once upon a time there was Toastmasters and Toastmistesses. Fortunately, this changed. Today there is one Toastmasters International organisation that sports women as International President and members of the Board. South Africa currently has a woman member on the international board who is standing for Second Vice President this month. Should she receive the vote, and she has the vote of our club, she will be the International President in two years' time.
We will have our own women members leading from the front on 8 August as our full lineup of speakers on that evening is women.
You are most welcome to pay us a visit that evening and spend two-and-a-half hours discovering the benefits our members appreciate in the Toastmasters Educational Program.
We have a fire burning in the hearth and snacks and coffee during our break.

In our career we discover that there are two types of skills that we acquire. We learn skills that we cannot transfer from one company to the next. Often our career development is not linear and we find that we move into a different career with new skill sets.
Then there are skills that are transferable no matter what changes we make in our career.
Communication skills and leadership skills are two of the most important transferable skills we can develop.
A toastmasters club is a supportive environment where these skills are developed as the core outcomes of the program.
We have fun as we learn and develop. We help each other become the best versions of ourselves.
We always welcome guests to come and experience our way of learning and development.
Call, pop us a WhatsApp message or send an email and you will receive information and login details should you wish to join on Zoom.
See you soon!
