Why enter a Toastmasters Club Speech Contest?
Here are answers from Toastmasters around the world, compiled by Highway Toastmasters Club in Durban, South Africa:
"Impact. I want to craft a message and performance that impacts my audience deeply, that provides profound value to them".
"To meet other strong speakers, and learn from their styles".
"When I compete it is not about the other competitors - it is about me improving my skills".
Come to Newtown's Evaluation and International Speech Contests on Wednesday 23 October and find out what motivates our members! We look forward to meeting you and sharing our skills, in the spirit of (friendly!) competition. See you at Newtown Community Centre, 7.30 - 9.30.
