Educational Events

While the Greater Stamford Toastmasters club certainly provides a full complement of regular meetings, one of the ways in which the club distinguishes itself is the educational events we hold for the Stamford community. Toastmasters also provides a number of inherent benefits to members of the community. Please check our schedule page for upcoming dates of these events. Some of the recurring events we already have planned, include:

Beginners Night

Are you an especially nervous speaker? Stop by our Beginners Night for some pointers on getting more comfortable in front of a group. We'll do some fun game exercises designed to get even the most nervous speaker up and talking. Participation in the exercises is strictly on a volunteer basis - no one will be forced to speak. But if past seminars are any indication, even the most nervous speakers will quickly be volunteering to speak. You'll be surprised at how rapidly your fears will melt away in this supportive environment. Read what people are saying about previous Beginner Night events. Give it a try! Please check our upcoming schedule for exact dates. ( Press Coverage )

Mock Interview Night

Could your interviewing skills use some minor improvement? Ever wonder how you are perceived in a job interview, but can never get honest feedback from the hiring manager? Want to learn a few simple tactics that will get you that second interview? Stop by for our Mock Interview Night for some tips and techniques for having highly successful interviews! Please check our upcoming schedule for exact dates.

Memory Workshop

Nervous about speaking in front of a group of people because you are afraid of losing your train of thought? When you meet people at a party do you forget their name within minutes? Come to the Memory Workshop and learn some simple techniques to rapidly improve your memory. You will participate in a number of exercises designed to strengthen your memory for names, numbers, lists, and speeches. Please check our upcoming schedule for exact dates.

Watch The Masters

Grab the popcorn and turn down the lights - it's time to learn from the champions. Twice a year, we'll spend some time viewing speeches from a recent World Championship of Public Speaking. This will either be done through table topics whereby a participant will be asked to comment one aspect of the speech. Or, via a special workshop whereby senior Toastmasters will provide running commentary, explaining and highlighting the techniques that got these masters to the world finals. Please check our upcoming schedule for exact dates.
