Through Dynamic Speakers Toastmasters I've acquired self-confidence and learned communication and…read moreleadership skills that I never would have thought possible. I joined the club at my first meeting but then let my fear and anxiety take over and I avoided meetings for months. But I knew that this club could help me and so I challenged myself to attend. The friendliness and helpfulness of the members encouraged me to continue to attend to build my self-confidence and communication skills and, eventually, my leadership skills. Besides the membership, what I like about the program is its go-at-your-own-pace approach. The initial communication and leadership manuals take you through 10 projects, each designed to teach you a new skill. I've seen members finish manuals in as little as 6 months or take as long as 4 years. Since joining Toastmasters, when I could barely stand up in front of a few people and speak, I now regularly teach classes, have emceed an event attended by 250, and even given toasts at special occasions. I now voice my opinion at business meetings and am better in all aspects of my job; after all, the key to success in the business world is the ability to communicate clearly and succinctly. The leadership skills I've learned through Toastmasters have allowed me to take on increasingly larger roles as an officer at the club, area, division, and district levels. With the support, friendship, and encouragement of the members of Dynamic Speakers Toastmasters I continue to improve my self-confidence and communication and leadership skills week after week. I encourage you to check our website and to visit us to see how we can help you become the confident communicator and leader you can be.

Public speaking? Ew. But why then am I looking up speech…read moreclubs? I've always been fascinated with public speaking, but darn scared of people... and speaking... which creates a difficult situation. I finally pushed myself to attend a Toastmasters meeting. And it was pretty cool. And then I went out and tried some other clubs. And... they were pretty cool too. And in April 2014 I went out to Career Builders Toastmasters. And it BLEW MY MIND. --- 3 things: Timely. Positive. Diverse. What stands out to me about Career Builders is its respect for time. I've been to many groups who don't take time into consideration - don't start on time, end on time, etc. I think timeliness shows a lot about a club's professionalism and the kind of environment they create for their members. Though it is a timely group, Career Builders does not suffer from any rigidity and remains energetic, positive and relationship-oriented. Many guests are impressed by the attitude of the members there. Everyone wants to be there?! The energy that is present at every meeting is really not something you see often anywhere else. As an ethic-minority, I am also sensitive to a group's diversity. I've seen that Career Builders creates a safe place for people of all kinds to practice their skills, gain confidence, and receive warm support. --- I've attended meetings and been a member of other Toastmasters clubs, and I can say with certainty that Career Builders performs among the top 5% in San Diego. I love this group. I love love love this group. Most weeks, I still feel like Career Builders is too good to be true. And in the end, you have to see it to believe it.

When I joined, I noticed how friendly and approachable the members were and instantly, I knew that…read moreI wanted to be part of this "family." The members helped me grow as a person. They had always been there for me, like giving me suggestions (in and outside the club) and very supportive. I didn't feel pushy at all and whenever I was ready, I gave a speech. This is a laid-back atmosphere, yet there is room for learning and pushing yourself out-of-the-box. The group is diverse, which includes engineers, logisticians, retirees, contractors, active military, and civilians. However, at Wordmaster Toastmasters, everyone is created equal, and we respect each other despite differences. I didn't work there and didn't know what the heck they do outside of the club, but I still joined! There will always be helpful guidance. You will always be welcomed to come and learn more about the club and how to improve yourself!

The group is very diverse in way of public speaking experience. Some of our members are native English speakers and others speak English as a second language, all of us there for self improvement. A great aspect of Toastmasters is that it is a structured program allowing members (and non members) to grow in a relaxed supportive environment. As an adult, being able to work on speaking and presenting in front of groups at your own pace and comfort level is such a fantastic way to work on personal goals. I recommend Wordmasters Club #1275!

They do offer paid classes, you might want to check out just to get your feet wet if you don't want to drive all the way to LA. You get to see different people from all walks of life attending, even the newscaster Sasha Foo came by, and we chatted a bit regarding SAG-AFTRA.
