What we’re about

Does speaking in front of a group send a chill down your spine?  Do you feel the butterflies flutter in your stomach every time you get up to speak in front of your peers?  You are not alone. In fact, Glossophobia or the fear of public speaking is the number one fear for most people.  Do you want to know what the number two fear? It is fear of death. That's right. More people are afraid to speak in public than they are afraid to die!  Fortunately there is help.

Toastmasters International is a non-profit educational institution primarily focused on helping aspiring leaders communicate effectively. Its award-winning program has helped hundreds of thousands of members across the globe improve on their speaking skills for the last 90 years.

Art of Speaking was founded in 2002 as a Toastmasters club and has been instrumental in mentoring hundreds of confident speakers.  Membership in Toastmasters club is one of the greatest investments you can make in yourself. At a cost that is little more than a Pumpkin Spice Latte a month, it is also one of the most cost-effective skill-building tools available anywhere.
