Congratulations - you're on your way to becoming a better communicator and leader! Toastmasters International, founded in 1924, is a proven product, regarded as the leading organization dedicated to communication and leadership skill development. As a member, you will gain all the tools, resources and support you need.

Through its worldwide network of almost 15,000 clubs in 126 countries, Toastmasters helps nearly 313,000 people communicate effectively and achieve the confidence to lead others. Why pay tens of thousands of Rands for a course when you can join a Toastmasters club for a fraction of the cost and have fun in the process?

Toastmasters is a place where you develop and grow - both personally and professionally. You join a community of learners, and in Toastmasters meetings we learn by doing.

Whether you're an executive or a stay-at-home parent, a college student or a retiree, you will improve yourself; building skills to express yourself in a variety of situations. You'll open up a world of new possibilities: giving better work presentations; leading meetings - and participating in them - more confidently; speaking more smoothly off the cuff; even handling one-on-one interactions with family, friends and colleagues more positively.

The environment in a Toastmasters club is friendly and supportive. Everyone at a Toastmasters meeting feels welcome and valued - from complete beginners to advanced speakers. In a club meeting, you practice giving short prepared speeches, each focusing on a different aspect of public speaking (vocal variety, body language, speech structure, persuasiveness etc.). You will also give brief impromptu talks, known as Table Topics which teach you how to think on your feet. There is no rush and no pressure: The Toastmasters program allows you to progress at your own pace.

Constructive evaluation is central to the Toastmasters philosophy. Each time you give a prepared speech, an evaluator will point out strengths as well as suggest improvements. Receiving - and giving - such feedback is a great learning experience. In Toastmasters, encouragement and improvement go hand-in-hand.

There are two simple steps to follow to self-register as a guest at one of our meetings: go to our club management site sandton.easy-speak.org and on the left-hand side of the screen, register by creating a username/password then when you are logged-in, you can sign up to the next meeting as a guest by clicking on the 'thumbs up' symbol. You will find it on the right side bar, or under the 'Meetings --> Meeting on [date]' menu.   That will give you access to a world of information about our club and the Toastmasters method, including overviews of the Toastmasters beginners and advanced project manuals that will be your starting point if you become a Toastmaster. Having access to our Easy-Speak system will also serve you well even if our club isn't for you - many clubs around South Africa are using Easy-Speak so you can use the system to interact with them too.

Alternatively, you can simply contact us using a contact form, either on this website, or on our club management site.

Become the speaker and leader you want to be. Confident, charismatic leaders weren't born that way. Toastmasters members learn to tell their story. They listen and answer. Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership.

Toastmasters International. Where leaders are made.
