Capitol Toastmasters Club (Bangkok) Meets Every Non-holiday Tuesday

Welcome to our Meet-up page.

First, Meet-up is one of several ways we use to attract visitors and new members.

While the number who are saying they are attending on this page might be low, most meetings are attended by 20 to 30 people.

So, if you see only a few people coming on Meet-up, you can be confident the meeting will be quite busy. Here are three pictures from recent meetings held at the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit.

Second, google maps will not let us add the correct location. We are at the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit Hotel near BTS Asoke Station. Just follow the signs to the hotel.

Finally, while we have a weekly announcement that includes holidays, we do not meet on holidays.

If you know Meet-up, you will know how much effort it is to make changes and add meetings, so we just run it every week and hope people will realize that we do not meet on holidays.

Come to the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit Hotel for one of our fantastic meetings.

The meeting officially starts at 18.30 but try to arrive early.

What is Toastmasters?

Toastmasters have helped many members in their community service activities. Using the speaking and leadership skills developed in Toastmasters, people have become more active in business, service, and charity organizations. Toastmasters members can organize activities, conduct meetings, and speak publicly as their organization's representative.

The objective of being a member is to improve your communication skills. Lose your fears of public speaking and learn skills that will help you succeed in whatever path you've chosen.

The mission of a Toastmasters club is to provide a mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which every member can develop communication and leadership skills, fostering self-confidence and personal growth.

Toastmasters will give you the skills and confidence you need to express yourself in any situation. Toastmasters is the best way to build excellent communication skills, whether you’re a professional, student, parent, or retiree. You’ll learn to relax, plan and present a great speech, whether you have days to prepare - or just seconds. You’ll learn and practice in a friendly, comfortable environment with people who share the same goal - to become better communicators.

At Toastmasters, everyone talks - that’s why you’re there! You’ll build quick-thinking skills when asked to give an impromptu speech during Table Topics. Later, you may be the one asking questions. Eventually, you’ll introduce speakers, give prepared speeches, conduct meetings, and perform many other roles.

Constructive evaluation is the heart of the Toastmasters learn-by-doing program. An evaluator will be assigned to you each time you give a prepared speech. Your evaluator will highlight your strengths and suggest improvements to your next speech. At first, you’ll be applauded for your efforts; later, you’ll be applauded for your skill.

You can’t learn to be a leader in a day; it takes practice. In Toastmasters, you’ll build leadership skills by organizing and conducting meetings and motivating others to help you. You can earn leadership awards by working on a project related to your personal or professional life or as a leader in your club.

Learn to:

• give better sales presentations
• hone your management skills
• work better with fellow employees
• effectively develop and present ideas
• offer constructive criticism
• accept criticism more objectively

Come along and have some fun…
