Toastmasters Tour!

On Friday afternoon I got the chance to have a personal tour of the world headquarters of Toastmasters – thanks, Jonathan!!  I came away so impressed.  I have always been a big fan of Toastmasters, recommending it to many people, but I learned a ton about this organization that I wanted to share with you.

- Head office is in Rancha Santa Margarita, a beautiful community in the Los Angeles area.  Toastmaster clubs are in 106 countries around the world.  Eighty dedicated, talented staff members run this international organization.

- They have amazing programs in both public speaking AND leadership.  Their vision is to empower people to achieve their full potential and realize their dreams.  The clients and business acquaintances that I know that have joined Toastmasters have not just learned how to speak well publicly, they have also developed confidence and poise.

- Toastmasters is not just for anyone who has to stand up and make a speech at a special occasion or for anyone who is terrified of speaking in front of others.  Their programs offer valuable tools to any business professional who wants to sound more confident and poised.   They teach people how to break the ice, so you can network more effectively.  And you get to build connections with other people in the organization, so it’s also a great business development opportunity.
