What Members Say
“Before Toastmasters, I didn’t really have the confidence to talk with other people and share myself. After Toastmasters, I got myself back. I got confidence back.”
Sara Safari, DTM
Teacher, humanitarian
“They taught me that it’s okay to be nervous. It’s about taking that nervous energy and turning it into positive energy. Toastmasters is really good at helping you build confidence.”
Andrew Clumpus
Financial Analyst,
2015 International Speech Contest Semi-finalist
“I have been promoted at my job six times since becoming a Toastmaster. Every speaking and leadership opportunity advances your own skills and helps others along the way. The question you should be asking yourself is, ‘Why didn’t I join a club sooner?’ “
Jing Humphreys, DTM

Sonneborn, LLC
“I ran a company, and it was very challenging for me to communicate one-on-one or in small groups. Because of my Toastmasters training, I am a more confident leader.”
