Toastmasters Club: Rangitoto 848 is a member club of Toastmasters International. Since 1924, Toastmasters International has been recognized as the leading organization dedicated to communication and leadership skill development. Through its worldwide network of clubs, each week Toastmasters helps more than a quarter million men and women of every ethnicity, education level and profession build their competence in communication so they can gain the confidence to lead others.
By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge. They learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedback – and accept it. They find their path to leadership.
Toastmasters International. Where Leaders Are Made.
Rangitoto Toastmasters Club was formed in October 1978. It prides itself on a friendly atmosphere which generates a lot of laughs, support, education and a great opportunity for self development. Members have received value from their time in the club and many members’ careers have really benefited from the skills gained, personal growth and development.
Rangitoto Toastmasters offers you the opportunity to step outside your comfort zone and practise speaking in front of a supportive audience. We are a small club so we feel that it may not be as daunting to learn your skills here as it might be in front of some other larger numbered clubs.
There are varied activities during the year, with many speaking opportunities available.
You can decide what you participate in and the speaking opportunities can include:
The people are of varying ages and experience. Members support and encourage each other.
We enjoy getting together socially once a year to have a mid-year dinner and prize giving. We present trophies and awards for competition winners and praise members that have done well during the year.
For those who want to go further, each year Toastmasters Clubs run contests in which their members may choose to test their skills and compete. There are several levels to the contest, starting with the in-club contests, leading to Area, then Division, and right through to a national contest. At the top level, one representative from New Zealand travels over to the USA to compete in the International Speech Contest.
There are many opportunities to take your speaking skills far and wide. How far you go is up to you! Joining Rangitoto Toastmasters is a small step towards greater achievements! Join Rangitoto Toastmasters Club and you will greatly improve your…
