Since 1984, our Gastonia Club has helped members to achieve super confidence, steady their voice when speaking in public, get better jobs, keep their exisiting jobs, and you won't believe this, but some of our member's children have even responded better, because our members are able to convey the message they need without shouting, while keeping the urgency and importance of the message!
As you can see, we meet in the beautifully accomodated fellowship hall of the Lutheran Chapel on New Hope Road in Gastonia at 7:00am every Thursday Morning.
Toastmasters will give you the skills and confidence you need to effectively express yourself in any situation. Whether you are a professional, student, stay-at-home parent or retiree, Toastmasters is the most efficient, enjoyable and affordable way of gaining great communication skills. By learning to effectively formulate and express your ideas, you open an entirely new world of possibilities. You’ll be more persuasive and confident when giving presentations, and you’ll improve your one-on-one dealings with others.
Don’t worry! Everyone in a Toastmasters club was once at the level you are now. The environment is friendly and supportive, and the self-paced program allows you to build confidence with each speaking assignment. And you’ll love the applause! Constructive evaluation is the heart of the Toastmasters program. Each time you give a prepared speech, an evaluator will point out strengths and suggest improvements. At first you’ll be applauded for your effort; later you’ll be applauded for your skill.
You won’t regret it. Toastmasters currently has more than 200,000 members in 80 countries. Our club is just one of the more than 10,000 clubs located around the world. For membership meeting information, please see our membership information page.
