Improve your public speaking and leadership skills!

Who We Are:

Welcome to In Good Company Toastmasters! We are a vibrant group of individuals from various professional backgrounds striving for excellence in communication and leadership. We meet every Tuesday morning at 7:30am US Eastern time, either in person or via the Zoom app. Our physical location is the Highland United Methodist Church at 1901 Ridge Road (at the intersection with Lake Boone Trail) in Raleigh, NC.

What We Do:

At In Good Company Toastmasters, we provide a supportive, fun, and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to fine-tune their communication and leadership skills. Through our educational system of project speeches, evaluations, and activities, we help members hone their skills as communicators and leaders. We offer a safe space for members to practice public speaking, improvisation, giving feedback, running effective meetings, and much more!

Be inspired, motivated, and entertained, all while bringing out the best communication and leadership skills in yourself and others.

How It Works:

At the beginning of each member's Toastmasters journey, they choose a specific Pathways learning experience, created by Toastmasters International. The fully-virtual Pathways program helps members learn communication and leadership skills through guided activities, online content, and support. Members can choose from 11 different learning paths to build more than 300 unique skill competencies!

In Good Company Toastmasters helps facilitate this learning through structured meeting sessions where members can give rehearsed speeches, offer impromptu constructive feedback to others, and participate in fun, improvised-themed activities.

Here's what a typical meeting format looks like:

• Meeting introduction and explanation of member roles
  
• Rehearsed speech #1
  
• Round-robin feedback
  
• Rehearsed speech #2
  
• Round-robin feedback
  
• Fun activities to practice impromptu speaking
  
• Meeting reports
  
• Club business
  

Why We Need It:

In today's world, having strong communication and leadership skills is essential for success. At In Good Company Toastmasters, we provide a platform where individuals can develop these important skills in a supportive environment. We also strive to create meaningful connections between members and help them grow in their personal and professional lives.
