 Corporate Partnerships
Do the employees of your company need additional training in public speaking?
Toastmasters can help in several different ways. The Stamford Chapter can help
you set up your own club at your company. We start the process by sending over
a group of members to do a demonstration meeting, showing your employees the
benefits
of Toastmasters.
We can then work with your employees to set up your own Toastmasters club.
The cost of setting up and running a club is very low - it's like outsourcing
your public speaking training needs to Toastmasters! See this
newsletter from
Purdue Pharma, a company in Stamford that recently started its own club.
For smaller companies that don't have enough employees to start a club, Toastmasters
can still help in a number of ways. First, your employees will always benefit
by joining the Stamford Chapter. Second, Stamford Chapter members are available to
conduct
occasional seminars on site for very reasonable rates.
Please contact the current
Club President to find out
more about how Toastmasters can help solve your training needs.
