People Who Get Ahead In Life Are Those Who Can Communicate Effectively.

Wouldn't You Like To Develop This Priceless Skill? Now You Can!”

Come to our LIVE In-Person West Side Talkers meeting and Get on The Road to Becoming the Best Speaker in Your Neck of the Woods!

Develop your public speaking skills in a Fun, Warm, Friendly and Enthusiastic environment.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “All great speakers were bad speakers at first”. Emerson was right because great speakers are not born; they are made!

But in order to transform yourself into a great speaker you have to show up! Woody Allen said it best. "80 percent of success is just by showing up! "

West Side Talkers is vibrant toastmasters club that's creative and thinks out-of-the-box. Over the years we have incorporated additional valuable segments that we offer at our club which have been added on top of the already great Toastmasters model.

At West Side Talkers you will experience everything that a toastmasters club can offer and MORE!

At our club, our members do speeches and we provide constructive evaluations, and we host table topics, thought of the day, word of the day, etc. (These are all part of the Toastmasters model) We take all the great things that are in the Toastmasters program and we take it up a few notches (well maybe more than a few!) so that we can bring more value to our members and guests.

Below are the ADDITIONAL ITEMS that we have incorporated into our meeting agenda which add more value to our members speaking development. (not part of the Toastmasters model)

SPEAKING TIP

Where you will pick up a valuable Speaking Tip by a Certified World Class Speaking coach which you can immediately use in your very next speech.

IMPROV COMEDY

As a member of West Side Talkers we take you through "actual" improv exercises to help you develop your emotional expressiveness, characterizations, and your spontaneity in your speaking more quickly and efficiently. Improv can help you FAST TRACK your speaking development and do it WHILE HAVING FUN!

COMMERCIAL MINUTE

IF you were asked at a networking luncheon to get up and talk for 60 seconds about your business and what you do, would you be able to do it effectively? As a member of West Side Talkers we can help you learn how to deliver effective 60 second commercials.

Please contact us via email if you have any questions about our exciting program.

At our “West Side Talkers” Toastmasters public speaking meetings we encourage people to challenge themselves and get up and speak. However, we do not force anyone to do so. You can learn a lot by just attending our meetings. By just coming to our meeting you have made an initial step towards challenging your fears...!!!

So whether you just want to conquer your fear of public speaking or you want to become a Champion Speaker – “West Side Talkers” will help you get there!
