North Grenville Toastmasters is a local chapter of Toastmasters International. We
are a group of men and women from towns in and around North Grenville.
If you live or work around the North Grenville area then we are the Toastmasters group that will meet your needs.
Our focus is on learning and developing communication and
leadership skills. With us, you will learn to communicate with others in varying circumstances, to build confidence and self esteem, to run meetings effectively,
present prepared speeches, and learn evaluation techniques.
You will
develop the skills required to speak with no preparation. These skills
are invaluable in today's workforce and every day life. Whether you are being asked your
opinion, the current status of a work project, your findings or
whatever. You will be able to provide a concise, coherent, organized
response. This ability will set you apart from your tongue-tied colleagues.
Today, Toastmasters International is a non-profit organization which gives its members the opportunity to develop and improve their public speaking abilities
through local club meetings, training seminars and speech contests. Toastmasters International includes more than 200,000 members in more than 9,300 clubs in more than 70 countries.
Experienced professionals and beginning speakers alike can benefit from our practical, face-to-face learning program. Whether you're speaking to the board of directors, your customers, your
co-workers or your kids, Toastmasters can help you do it better.
You'll learn and practice in a friendly, comfortable environment with
people who are there for the same reason you areto become better
communicators.
At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive environment.
In our Toastmasters club we strive to maintain a membership of around
20 people. We meet twice a month for two hours. Each meeting provides
our members with an opportunity to practice conducting
meetings, giving impromptu speeches, presenting prepared speeches, and
offering constructive evaluation.
Many members join to conquer shyness, build confidence and self esteem. We offer a safe and supportive atmosphere. You
progress at your own chosen rate. We offer learning resources that are easy to follow.

Come Visit Us - Everyone Is Welcome!
We welcome guests. Feel free to attend any meeting
as a guest. We will welcome you at the door and make you feel
comfortable. You will be able to sit back, relax, and watch what
transpires. Those participating in the meeting will ensure you have an
understanding of what we are doing and why. By the end of the meeting
you will be in a better position to determine how you can benefit
through membership in our club. The best compliment a guest pays is
when they decide to return for another meeting. Please be aware that we
are always happy to accept new members. Feel free to attend a meeting or
two. If you then decide you would like to participate as a member, we
would be only too pleased to welcome you into the club.
Like all improvements we make in ourselves, it will not happen by
wishing. You must take a step in the direction you want to go. The
first step is to visit us. We look forward to seeing you at our next
meeting.
