Success/Communication

Success/Communication presentations and workshops help develop and provide practice in various communication skills. Presentations vary in length and last between 2.5-4.5 hours; Speechcraft is a multi-session workshop, see description below. The presentations can be used inside your club, to enhance members’ skills; in companies, to increase employees’ skills and promote awareness of Toastmasters; and in the community, to enhance the general public’s skills and to promote awareness of Toastmasters.

Each presentation is designed to be conducted as a seminar, with a club member serving as leader or coordinator. The presentations include a script and instructions. Most presentations also include visuals and notebooks for participants.

Seminar leaders:

        Develop strong presentation skills
        Improve your training abilities
        Demonstrate teaching skills in a workshop environment
        Learn the "ins and outs" of meeting planning
        Gain expertise with visual aids
        Provide a much needed educational service to others

Presentation of a Success/Leadership presentation can help fulfill one of the requirements for the Advanced Communicator Gold (ACG) award.
