What we’re about
Skwim Toastmasters offers an affordable public speaking and leadership program. It is fun, self-directed and self-paced. In a short time, you'll feel more confident speaking and leading in our community and your workplace.
Chartered in 2006, Skwim Toastmasters members are unified by a common mission: to enrich our lives and the lives of others through our three values: communication, leadership and community. Skill levels within our club vary from practiced and confident speakers to those of a novice level, ready to conquer their fear of public speaking. We thrive in a mutually supportive (and fun!) environment.
Our Mission: We provide a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop communication and leadership skills, resulting in greater self-confidence and personal growth.
How Do We Do It? We practice prepared and impromptu speaking in pursuit of Competent Communication. We regularly take on meeting roles and serve as club officers as we strive for Competent Leadership within our club, as well as in our workplaces and communities. We appreciate and serve the Community we have built, with good times, laughter and lasting, supportive relationships.
Who Are We? Our Members come from many walks of life. Among them, you'll find beginner and experienced speakers, as well as beginner and experienced leaders. You’ll find mothers, fathers, grandmothers, accountants, lawyers, salespeople, entrepreneurs, engineers, teachers, retirees and others fill our ranks.
What one thing do we all have in common? We have a strong commitment to becoming better...especially at public speaking and leadership.
Our Pledge: What We Give is What We Get. Our members shape the future of our club…and it's as much of an honor as it is a duty. As members, we commit to the following: I want to become a better speaker and better leader. I strive for a positive and professional attitude. I will attend regular meetings. I will actively collaborate to help the club succeed. I will support my fellow club members, as they support me
