Toastmasters is a world-wide organization. It offers great ways to improve your communication skills and lose your fear of public speaking. You will learn and practice in a friendly, comfortable environment with other people who have the same goal: to become better communicators. If you are a Shell employee, Shell will cover the membership fees for you!
Learn to Give more effective presentations
Evaluate people and motivate them at the same time
Listen better
Lead and conduct meetings with confidence
Toastmasters will give you the skills and confidence you need to effectively express yourself in any situation. Toastmasters is the most efficient, enjoyable and affordable way of gaining great communication skills. By learning to effectively formulate and express your ideas, you open an entirely new world of possibilities. You’ll be more persuasive and confident when giving presentations, and you’ll improve your one-on-one dealings with others.
Don’t worry! Everyone in a Toastmasters club was once at the level you are now. The environment is friendly and supportive, and the self-paced program allows you to build confidence with each speaking assignment. And you’ll love the applause! Constructive evaluation is the heart of the Toastmasters program. Each time you give a prepared speech, an evaluator will point out strengths and suggest improvements. At first you’ll be applauded for your effort; later you’ll be applauded for your skill.
You won’t regret it. Toastmasters currently has more than 200,000 members in 80 countries. Our club is just one of the more than 10,000 clubs located around the world. The Speaking of Shell Toastmasters Club meets every Wednesday's (excluding holidays) in Woodcreek Room 6297 from 12:00 - 1:00 PM. Guests are always welcome. Bring your lunch and join us!
