Do you feel the urge to try them out yet have the concern about not knowing how to start?

We have some good news for you – Kowloon-Singapore Toastmasters Club is going to organize a Speaking Skills Workshop in April.

The workshop consists of 4 two-and-half-hour sessions spanning from April to May. During the workshop, you will learn some bolts and nuts of public speaking.

  • You will learn how to draft your speech like a pro.
  • You will learn how to answer in a professional way questions thrown to you by surprise.
  • You will learn how to evaluate a speech.

Above all, you will learn how to overcome the fear of speaking in front of an audience.What’s more, you will get a bonus of Toastmasters International membership for 6 months which is worth US$47. No gimmick – This is the amount we have to remit to Toastmasters International World Headquarters in USA when you sign up for the course.

Remember, a person will not learn how to swim unless he plunges into the water. To overcome the fear of public speaking, you cannot just sit on the couch and hope that the skills you have learned from our website will somehow work one day!

Update:  All the places are filled. We have closed the registration for the Speaking Skills Workshop. Thank you for your support.
