Confidence is a quality that we all want…
It’s a quality that helps us take on big challenges, inspire others and overcome setbacks. Unfortunately, confidence can be elusive. We can be confident in one part of our life, but terrified in another. And that’s if we’re lucky. Confidence can sometimes look like a God-given attribute dished out at birth: you either have it or you don’t.

Confidence isn’t a person. Confidence is a mindset which can be developed, which we think is pretty exciting!

Try out your next pitch. Practice presenting your next work project in a supportive environment. Receive constructive feedback and learn how to provide valuable feedback to other people. Try out new ideas.

Learn how to:
• Hook your audience’s attention, explain difficult concepts, and move them emotionally to action.
• Speak without notes
• Speak off-the-cuff and handle anyone’s response… objection… complaint... No preparation? No problem.

Be you, but more so:
• Develop your personal strengths,
• Stop your weaknesses kicking your butt, and
• Start with your unique personality so you develop a speaking style that is authentically you.

Who is Toastmasters for?
• Nervous or reluctant presenters who want to learn new skills
• Decent public speakers who want to take the next leap to inspiring, memorable communication
• Emerging leaders who want to build their personal brand through speaking
• Change makers who want to inspire their audience with their vision and purpose. Maybe you’re a start-up founder, or a leader at a non-profit
• Or maybe you’ve got a side hustle that you want to grow

I’m not a leader, is this suitable for me?
YES! We define a leader as someone who is in a position to influence someone, and we’re sure that is you.

Do I have to attend every session?
Life is busy. Sometimes we have to miss stuff: brunch, work drinks, your brother’s wedding. We get it! Ideally, you’d attend most meetings.
