I'm a lot more confident and enhanced my personal network. I'm now able to give effective speeches, which helps me achieve my goals

I have benefited a lot from Toastmasters. My confidence has improved dramatically. I no longer feel the dread of standing up in front of people to talk. I also feel that my district position (and I have held Division Director a few times now as well) has helped in my professional life because the leadership skills I have gained has aided me in progression within my company.

Toastmasters has built up my self esteem and self confidence and I now longer find addressing an audience a daunting experience.

Since joining Toastmasters my life has changed a lot, I have gained much more Self- Confidence, And also Communication and Leadership Skills. I have a met many more people while attending Club meetings, training and other events. Now enjoy organizing events and assisting other members to achieve their goals, encouraging them to take on roles and deliver speeches, it is a fantastic feeling when a new member you mentored completes their path and achieves their goals.

"Toastmasters has changed my life". I talk for a living through my coaching, training and hosting a podcast business. Therefore, if I am not improving my abilities to connect with people in a deeper way then I can’t do what I love to the best of my ability. Constantly improving my skills allows me to give the very best to my clients with every interaction. It has helped me to see the potential in myself through building the confidence to be able to speak out constructively and effectively.

I met a lot of interesting people. I built by local social network in Tralee from "I know nobody in town" to "I cannot cross the town without saying hello to somebody". I increased my confidence both in public speaking and leadership

Greatly increased confidence in communicating with people. My job involves working fairly independently rather than as part of an organisation, so being part of Toastmasters allows me to develops new skills that I wouldn't otherwise be able to do

It has helped me become more connected with my community, come out of my shell and develop confidence. I never dreamed that I would even be able to deliver an Ice Breaker speech

I was very shy before I joined Toastmasters, but being a member of my clubs has helped my confidence. It's an opportunity I never had when I was young

Joining Toastmasters was one of the best things I have ever done. I had just moved to a new area and knew no one locally and didn't have any activities outside of work or family. Toastmasters was ideal as you get to meet a wide array of individuals while still focusing on your personal and professional development.
