The Saint-Lawrence Toastmasters Club in downtown Montreal would like to wish a warm welcome to Tanay, one of its newest members.

As usual, we like to ask our members why they decided to join Toastmasters. Here is what Tanay has to share:

I believe joining Toastmasters is a great way for me to learn how to manage the anxieties that come with public speaking which will help me develop further as a leader at work or any social setting really.

I am also looking forward to connect with like minded people in Montreal and making new friends being fairly new to this beautiful vibrant city.

Would you like to find out how Toastmasters can also help you conquer your fear of public speaking and become a stronger leader? Join us for one of our upcoming meetings.

Here is the programme for the meeting of March 30, 2021.

The St. Lawrence Toastmasters Club in Montreal would like to welcome its newest member, Omar.

We like to customarily ask our new members to share with us some of the reasons why they decided to join our club. Here is what Omar mentions:

Recently, I came across a Youtube video of a man named Rick Gisby. He was giving an inspiring speech in front of thousands of people, without any fear or hesitation.

His speech was funny, emotional and educational. I started thinking to myself, "Is there a way for me, the person who always trembled giving presentations to a small classroom, to one day maybe give a similar talk?”

A bright light led me toward Toastmasters, the path toward my impossible, hard to achieve objective.

After attending a few sessions, I can say with assurance that St-Lawrence Toastmasters will help me gain the self-confidence, the poise and the ability to get my thoughts together in a logical order and to one day maybe inspire people to become better orators like Rick Gisby inspired me to.

"I won’t have a problem if you aim high and miss. But I have a problem if you aim low and hit." 
–Ricky Gisby

Voici ce qu’Annie nous écrit :

Parler avec assurance de manière claire et concise. Toute une gymnastique lorsqu’on est bègue et qu’on a de la difficulté à organiser ses idées! Cependant, quelques visites au Club St-Lawrence Toastmasters m’ont convaincues que sortir de sa zone de confort est la condition sine qua non pour atteindre ses objectifs d’élocution.
