We’re well into the New Year and you’re probably on your way to accomplishing your list of resolutions. Perhaps you want to hit the gym and lose some weight, quit smoking, or manage your finances. Alternatively, you may want to get ahead in your career. If your resolution is the latter, Essex Toastmasters can help you develop the communication and leadership skills needed to reach your goals! Essex Toastmasters is a local chapter of Toastmasters International, a thriving public speaking organization with more than 332,000 members in 135 countries.
It’s well documented that poor speaking ability can hinder your career growth. Important skills like being a public speaker, team leadership, answering off-the-cuff questions and interviewing can all be learned in the supportive setting that an Essex Toastmasters meeting can provide.
“Over the past three and half years as a Toastmaster I’ve learned and continue to learn how to present myself as a speaker, whether it be for a speech or during interpersonal communications. I’m amazed at how much I still need to learn because Toastmasters holds a mirror to how you present yourself to the world. Professionally, Toastmasters has helped me be more at ease when I speak to people and being around a diverse group of speakers encourages me to be a more polished speaker.” – Alice Itty, VP of Public Relations
“It’s 2016 and a great way to kick off the New Year is by committing to your goals. Toastmasters can be an addition to the list. If you’d like to improve your communication and/or leadership skills, Essex Toastmasters is the place to be! The door is always open to guests and we look forward to adding new members to our team!” – CC Minton, VP of Membership
If your goal in 2016 is to grow professionally, Essex Toastmasters can help you achieve it. Invest in yourself this year – become a member, and talk your way to professional success!
