Welcome to
SOUTHSIDE TOASTMASTERS!
Public Speaking is
NUMBER ONE
on the list of Most Common Human Fears.
So what exactly are we afraid of?
Some people anticipate not knowing what to say, not saying it well enough, or not having enough to say. Whatever the specifics, it primarily comes down to a fear of looking stupid, foolish or ignorant.
How do I get over this fear?
Just like any other skill in life, we must practice in order to improve.
Toastmasters offers an ideal setting in which to practice your public speaking amongst a group of encouraging, supportive peers, many of whom have experienced these same fears and overcome them. We invite you to attend a meeting to see for yourself.
What can I get out of a meeting?
By attending just one meeting you’ll get the chance to observe a wide range of speakers, from the shaky beginner to the comfortable and suave experienced speaker. You’ll pick up useful tips to enhance your own speaking skills, inspiration to pursue your own speaking magnificence, and entertainment as you hear touching, meaningful & often humorous stories. You’ll get to meet people that have been in your shoes and can help you get past some of your hang-ups.
I've attended a meeting, so what now?
