TOASTMASTERS INTERNATIONAL

Small and large businesses alike need strong
leaders and competent followers. The key to
strong internal structure in any business is
communication. The more great communicators
you have, the better your company will be, and
the more money you will make.

There is a local resource group, already in place,
that meets weekly and offers training on exactly
what you need. Public Speaking,
communication and leadership training are all
skills that, when developed, will create more
self-confidence in all the participants in all public
situations.

Toastmasters International is a top-
drawer club that can really help you
improve your public speaking skills
and leadership qualities. Whether
you are attempting to run a meeting
using parliamentary procedure, or
simply talking to one or two
employees, you'd like to be clear and
concise. Toastmasters can help.

A recent article by Sharyn Lonsdale, in the
Englewood Review stated, "Toastmasters has
been around since 1924 and boasts more than
225,000 members in 92 countries. The
Englewood Club is just about to celebrate its
second anniversary and is already a
Distinguished Toastmasters Club with several
members taking home trophies in area, and
regional, contests."
