Greater Cleveland Toastmasters - Club 2825

o have a common interest: more effective communications. No matter what your purpose or reason for wanting to improve your speaking skills, you will find genuine interest and support from Greater Cleveland Toastmaster members. How It Works
Greater Cleveland Toastmasters is one of many clubs in an international organization. Each member in each club worldwide follows the same procedures in a proven system to improve speaking skills. You begin with the “Competent Communicator” basic manual which outlines objectives for ten speeches. Each speech has a specific purpose – such as vocal variety – to focus on one aspect of a successful presentation. As you progress through this first manual, you will be given encouragement and a comprehensive evaluation of each speech. In fact, evaluations are probably the most important part of the Toastmasters program. It is through this feedback that we improve and grow. At the completion of the first ten manual speeches, you will be recognized at a “Competent Communicator” (CC). From this point on, you can choose your course from fifteen Advanced Manuals, each containing five speech projects, which will design your learning experience to suit your needs. You can choose from subject areas such as Humor, Sales, Communication on Television, and Story Telling among others. No matter what project you are working on, the topic is always yours to choose. Along the way, at each program, you will hear speeches from other members that will enrich your life, tickle your funny bone, or bring a tear to your eye. It is a great way to learn as you will hear so many others working to improve. You will experience techniques that you may choose to incorporate into your day-to-day communications. You will be able to monitor your own progress with the honest feedback from other members. Roles and Responsibilities
