There are many ways a person could benefit from joining a Toastmasters club. Here are some benefits of Toastmasters that might be your reason for joining.
Do you suffer from a fear of public speaking? Toastmasters is a nonjudgemental place to practice speaking so that you become more comfortable and confident in speaking to a group of people. Yaquina Bay (Newport) Toastmasters will assign an evaluator to you who will provide feedback, but not make you feel like you were terrible.
Do you hate answering questions because you feel like you do not know what to say? You can practice this skill in Toastmasters, and have fun. In fact, we make it feel like a game when we practice. Table topics can be a very joyful time, answering questions, and telling stories that those outside of Toastmasters might not believe when you tell them. You may even win the Table Topics Award!
Have trouble leading a group? No problem! In Toastmasters, you can learn how to direct a meeting by being the Toastmaster of the day. This will give you the practice you want so that you can go back to your business meeting, and be perfectly comfortable in the spotlight.
Maybe you have trouble with time management. That is perfectly fine. At Yaquina Bay (Newport) Toastmasters, the first assignment a new member receives is timer. You can hone your timeliness by helping others stay on track, then practice those skills yourself when you are give your first speech.
