Newtown residents - want to grow your communication skills?

Jane Fisher from Newtown Toastmasters

Newtown Toastmasters is holding a one-day Speechcraft workshop on Saturday 18 May. We're inviting 6 participants (age 18+) from the Newtown area to take part. Don't miss this great opportunity to improve your communication skills - whether for work or community involvement.

All presenters are regular Toastmasters club members. Running these workshops helps our members to build their communication and leadership skills, too.

We'll focus on practical skills and simple exercises, including:

- Speech writing - crafting a speech with minimal preparation time
- Speaking off the cuff - applying techniques in impromptu speaking situations
- Giving feedback in a constructive and positive manner
- Delivery approaches using voice and body language

If you or anyone you know who would like to take part, please fill in this Google Docs form by 5pm, 3rd May 2019: tinyurl.com...

Apply today - places are limited. If your application is successful, we'll be in touch to ask you for photo ID, for verification. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
