Motivation & Success

If you’ve ever felt nervous speaking in meetings or presenting your ideas, you’re not alone. Public speaking is one of the biggest fears people have. But 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭. 𝐈𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭. That’s exactly what we do at Toastmasters. Many public speaking workshops last one or two days. You leave inspired, but a few weeks later the impact fades. Not because the workshop was bad, but because speaking is a skill. And skills are built through regular practice. That’s where Toastmasters is different. We meet regularly, practice speaking, receive feedback, and improve step by step. You can practice speaking for an entire year at Toastmasters for roughly the price of a one- or two-day workshop. Toastmasters is a global organization with clubs in more than 140 countries, making the system structured, proven, and trusted worldwide.

Javno nastopanje je eden najpogostejših strahov ljudi. Toda samozavest pri govorjenju ne pride iz branja o tem. Pride iz prakse. Točno to počnemo v Toastmasters. Veliko delavnic javnega nastopanja traja en ali dva dni. Od tam odidemo navdihnjeni, a čez nekaj tednov učinek izgine. Ne zato, ker bi bila delavnica slaba, ampak ker je govorjenje veščina. In veščine se razvijajo z redno prakso. Tu je Toastmasters drugačen. Redno se srečujemo, vadimo govorjenje, prejemamo povratne informacije za izboljšanje in postopoma napredujemo. V Toastmasters lahko vadite javno nastopanje celo leto za približno ceno enodnevne ali dvodnevne delavnice. Toastmasters je globalna organizacija s klubi v več kot 140 državah, zato je sistem učenja strukturiran, preizkušen in zaupanja vreden po vsem svetu. 𝟐𝟎. 𝐚𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐚 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐨𝐝𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐨 𝐯𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐧𝐚𝐬̌𝐞𝐠𝐚 𝐤𝐥𝐮𝐛𝐚 𝐳𝐚 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐧 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐳𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜̌𝐞𝐧 𝐯𝐞𝐜̌𝐞𝐫. Videli boste, kako potekajo srečanja, poslušali prave govore, občutili podporno vzdušje in, če boste želeli, lahko tudi sami poskusite spregovoriti. Naša srečanja potekajo v angleškem jeziku, kar je še posebej koristno za strokovnjake, ki delajo v mednarodnem okolju in želijo postati bolj samozavestni pri komunikaciji v angleščini. Pridite in doživite izkušnjo tudi sami. See less [Ljubljana, Slovenia](https://www.facebook.com/events/explore/ljubljana-slovenia/111980668819694/)
