Develop Communications & Leadership Skills

In an abundance of caution, Four Seasons Toastmasters Club has decided to continue meeting online (via Zoom) for now. Although Illinois has entered Phase 4, the COVID caseload in McLean County has recently experienced a sharp uptick. Decisions on how the club will meet will be made on a meeting-by-meeting basis going forward.

To get the Zoom info, text Sherri at[masked].

If you enjoy surrounding yourself with fun and encouraging people, and challenging yourself to grow as a communicator/leader, then this club is for you.

Four Seasons Toastmasters Club (http://fourseasons.toastmastersclubs.org) 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 effective, enjoyable and affordable way of gaining great communication and leadership skills. By learning to think quickly on your feet and to express your ideas with confidence, you ll gain the respect of your peers and become more persuasive in everyday conversations.

Our members skill levels range from still learning the English language to advanced speakers.

To learn more, and to meet our members, visit one of our regular meetings, held from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM on the 1st and 3rd (and sometimes 5th) Mondays of each month.

Guests are ALWAYS welcome to attend and participate at no cost.

There is no obligation to speak--we wait until YOU RE ready.

So, what happens at a Toastmasters meeting? Some members give prepared speeches and then members and guests give impromptu speeches on selected topics. Constructive evaluation of the speeches and meeting management follows, for continual improvement. It s more fun than it sounds, and really helps improve skills!

If you would like to preview the flow of a typical Toastmasters meeting, watch this short video of a simulated meeting. It will help you better understand what we do and how it could benefit you. (One key difference: at Four Seasons Toastmasters, we do not vote on best speaker at our regular meetings.)
