Toastmasters is a global organisation that supports members to develop public speaking skills, leading to greater self-confidence, personal growth and leadership abilities. And we have a club right here in Helensburgh!
Toastmaster clubs form part of a wider network of areas. The Southern Division extends from Engadine to Wollongong. Wollongong proudly was the first club founded in Australia and celebrates 67 years this August!
This new financial year sees a new Area Director begin in this role – Matthew Derbridge from Helensburgh and UOW clubs. Matthew has been a Toastmaster for 10 years and will oversee the six clubs in this area, under the guidance of the Southern Division Director, Charmaine Bonnard.
Toastmasters provides a safe space to experience public speaking in a relaxed, supportive environment. Each meeting follows an agenda with an opportunity to participate in all roles, including chairing the meeting. It’s an organisation useful for creating connections, making new friends, building a social network and having fun whilst developing leadership and communication skills.
Helensburgh & District TM club meets at the Cupbearer cafe every 2nd and 4th Monday nights at 7pm, either in-person or on zoom. Feel free to contact Vicki on 0408 961 392 for further information. You’ll be most welcome!
