Communication and Leadership Program (Basic Manual)

Public speaking is a active skill that cannot be learned simply by reading books or watching other people speaks. It is a skill that is best learnt by doing it yourself. To quote from Eleanor Rooselvt, "We gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience that we stop looking fear in the face. We have to do things that we think that we cannot do."

Although it can be scary for new beginner to talk to a group for the first time, you will be surprised by your progress each time you stand in front of the audience to speak. Very soon, you will be addicted to public speaking.

In a typical toastmasters club meeting, the audience consists of members of your toastmasters club, member(s) from visiting toastmasters club, and may be a few sit-in public guests. Our regular meeting is usually attended by 10 to 15 members. Club members, will act as the audience to support you.

In Toastmasters, new members will be given a manual, which is called "Communication and Leadership Program" manual, or usually called Basic Manual. It consists of 10 projects:

1. The Ice Breaker Handling your nervousness when speaking in front of the audience.
