All Pro Toastmasters meeting

We are an advanced club dedicated to helping its members become paid speakers and trainers. 

This club is meant to serve people who either already are professional speakers OR people who have an immediate desire to become *paid* speakers. i.e. trainers, seminar leaders or keynote presenters.

Toastmasters is a safe place to learn and practice your public speaking skills.

You'll meet some fellow speakers in a friendly, fun environment.

If you've been to Toastmasters before, this is how our group is different:

• Speeches - You give presentations that you expect to get *paid* to give.

• Evaluation – The speakers provide their own evaluation sheets and ALL members provide written feedback based upon the criteria the speaker is looking for and NOT only the manual.

We also do round robin evaluations. You receive verbal feedback from everyone. As the speaker, you guide the process to gain clarity of the feedback. NOTE: At this level we tell the speaker exactly what they need to do to make the presentation worthy of being a paid presentation.

• Education sessions – comprised of bringing in professional speakers to share their experience and stories of how they started getting paid to speak.

We are a very friendly and informal group.

    Though several of our members had business (or were in Hawaii) and couldn't attend, this meeting was very rich!!! Special thank you to Patty for that outstanding presentation for professional speakers on creating products to sell from the stage.

    As usual, a small but powerful group. Great presentations and spot on feedback that helps the presenters learn and grow. This club is definitely not for someone new to speaking as the feedback can be intense however, that is what makes All Pro great for those of us honing our craft. Also good to be in the audience as we get to hear presentations before they are presented to a paying audience. Lots of takeaways.
