Why You Should Choose Avalon Beach Toastmasters!
Do you want to slay your fear of public speaking? Improve your communication skills generally or need to get better before putting yourself on the line in front of customers, peers or friends and family? If your sphere of influence needs to increase and you want to learn to be a better leader, the tried and tested format of Toastmasters can help.
Toastmasters is worldwide and offers the same leadership and communication benefits to members anywhere in the world. BUT each club has a different feel, tone and flavour. And if you’re going to get the most out of your Toastmasters experience, you want to choose the right club for you.
At Avalon Beach Toastmasters Club, we believe in positive encouragement, genuinely care and actively seek to build your confidence. We also like fun 🙂
So if you want to learn to communicate more clearly and lead more effectively in a friendly and non-threatening environment, come along.

What Can I Expect?
Meetings are currently on zoom. Wow will be returning to a hybrid mix of zoom and in person soon. Regardless of whether you join us as a guest on zoom or in person, you can expect a warm welcome. You will see or sit with one with of us (see above).
Meetings are split into two halves and run to an agenda. Most evenings, members will either have a prepared speech or a role to fulfil and you will witness speaking and leadership being put to work.
Every speaker and member with a role gets evaluated. This is how we all grow. Sometimes you may hear an ‘educational’ talk from a member, designed to help us upskill in particular areas and members from other clubs attend and may speak from time to time.
In case you feel intimidated, DON’T! We all came to Toastmasters because we wanted to improve. No-one at Avalon Beach Toastmasters Club is perfect and we’re all at different levels. However, every one of us is committed to personal growth and genuinely helping each other grow as we grow too.
Don’t struggle to communicate, putting off speaking opportunities or feeling unable or unwilling to speak up for yourself, your team or family. You CAN learn to be a better communicator and you CAN strengthen your ability to lead.
Come along and see if Avalon Beach Toastmasters Club is a perfect fit for you!
