The Other Side of You | #95 Earthlings joint Toastmasters meeting with Japan

Join our October 22 Toastmasters club meeting to hone your public speaking skills. In this meeting, the round robin and table topics sessions will be around the theme of the day - the other side of you. We will be joined by three other Japanese clubs in this meeting - Chiyoda, Inzai and Kashiwa. Come network and celebrate in style with your favorite costume, outfit, wig or hat! We have members based in 18 different cities! If you want to do a speech or take a meeting role, please contact us on the membership process.

Our meetings are on every 2nd (English), 3rd (Mandarin) and 4th (English). Every meeting is 1.5 hours, just right for the learning and efficient enough to cover all aspects of a Toastmasters meeting. :)

Hope you can join us and experience another fun yet professional Earthlings Toastmasters meeting to hone speaking and leadership skills based on three main themes - sustainability, wellness and veganism. Earthlings Toastmasters Club has members from all over the world. It is a 100% online Toastmasters club.

The meeting format of Earthlings TMC is fun, simple and effective. We learn from each other and also help each other develop into good speakers, listeners and leaders. These concentration and communication skills are helpful at work as well as in personal situations. Some misunderstandings (or disasters) could be avoided if we can express our thoughts in a peaceful, logical and clear manner.

Please feel free to come in 10-15 minutes earlier to test out Zoom and mingle with us. Guests are welcome to attend and observe in our regular meetings or book clubs a few times while deciding to sign up as an official member.
