Speaking Professionally Toastmasters is an open Toastmasters club comprised of members serious about professional speaking. We meet virtually on the first Tuesday of each month from 12:00pm EST to 1:30pm EST with additional pre-event and post-event networking opportunities.
We also meet in-between our monthly meeting in a "Mid-Month Mastermind" for individualized focus, Q&A and accountability.
Some of our members are aspiring speakers, some are brand new to speaking and others already have extensive seasoned experience in professional speaking and training. Do NOT be intimidated by our club name. Speaking professionally is simply our focus. We are an extremely welcoming and friendly group of people and we invite you to a future meeting!
Membership is our club provides TEDx Speaker training, the PAID to $PEAK Online Course, an Association Directory and more totaling over $2,500 in professional speaking resources!! We also provide you with speaker templates, contracts, and other items necessary for PAID speaking engagements.
In our meetings, we also provide opportunities for every member to speak and receive valuable group feedback.
We also support each other in between our meetings in a private Facebook group and members form their own accountability groups as well.
Members are not limited to any age, speaking experience or ability. We welcome anyone who desires to advance themselves in keynote speaking, workshop facilitation, training, emcee'ing, retreat facilitation or a combination of all these!
