Tom Peters, Bestselling Author In Search of Excellence
and The Pursuit of Wow
"Join Toastmasters. Oral communications skills count. Height
and hair color may be in the genes, but public speaking isn't.
One good answer to the public speaking problem is Toastmasters.
They do a fabulous job of helping people shape up their
communication skills."
Anita Perez Ferguson, President - National Women's
Political Caucus
"Toastmasters gives me the opportunity to regularly organize
and present speeches. The skills I have learned and improved help
me make a positive impression every time I speak."
Harvey Mackay, Bestselling Author Swim With the
Sharks
"I've never met anyone who didn't think Toastmasters was
super valuable to their career. We gain self-esteem,
self-confidence, assertiveness."
Debbie Fields-Rose, Founder of Mrs. Field's
Cookies
"I believe that communication is vital to success. Improving
my comunication skills has increased my ability to sell my ideas
and visions and eventually become a professional speaker. I like
the people involved in Toastmasters - we all share the same
desire to improve our communication skills."
Les Brown, Author Live Your Dreams
"If you want your dreams to come true you must have confidence
in yourself and your abilities. A Toastmasters Club can give you
that confidence. Make your dreams a reality. Join a Toastmasters
Club."
Tara Holland Christensen, Miss America 1997
"Toastmasters gave me the chance to practice speaking skills
and answer questions, which was great preparation for entering
the Miss America Pageant. I felt more confident going to the
pageant and press interviews. Now, this is what I do for a living
- speaking!"
David J. Moore, Author Job Search for the Technical
Professional
"I have attended communication seminars and classes, but I
have not found any to equal the value of Toastmasters. You will
be trained in speaking and listening skills, receive positive
correction and critique for your presentations, and have
unlimited opportunities to interact, lead, and develop your
presentation skills. The cost is modest, and there are thousands
of clubs worldwide and in virtually every community in the United
States."
