Once you get a bit of confidence under your belt it’s all too easy to think that you don’t need to practice …

A friend of mine is an examiner for the Institute of Advanced Motorists in his spare time.   He helps experienced drivers polish their skills  and unlearn some of the bad habits they inevitably pick up once they have passed their test.   Talking to him one day got me thinking about the thought that maybe we need the equivalent organisation for presenters so I did some searching on the web and discovered Toastmasters International.

Toastmasters is an international public speaking club that operates locally throughout the world and it gives both new and experienced speakers the opportunity to practice their speaking skills in a friendly supportive environment with lots of positive feedback (see by previous post!)

For more information about toastmasters in the UK visit the district 71 site

My own local club is Solent Speakers based in Fareham
