Toastmasters International is a world leader in communication and leadership development. Our membership is 270,000 strong. These members improve their speaking and leadership skills by attending one of the 14,200 clubs in 148 countries that make up our global network of meeting locations.
By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge. Members learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedback –– and accept it. They find their path to leadership.
