Meetings
Every meeting we thrive to have authentic "Toastmasters" experience! That includes plenty of applause, comical jokes, entertaining speeches, palm sweating table-topics and helpful evaluations!
Each member is assigned to a specific role in advance for every meeting. Each meeting role is designed to give extensive practice of various parts of communication skills such as, listening skills, impromptu speaking, evaluating, etc.
