Master Communication and Leadership with Four Seasons Toastmasters!
Ready to challenge yourself, grow your confidence, and speak with conviction? Join Four Seasons Toastmasters Club, a supportive community that meets hybrid (in-person plus on Zoom) dedicated to helping you become a more effective communicator and influential leader.
At Four Seasons Toastmasters Club, we provide a proven, enjoyable, and affordable platform to gain the skills necessary for effective self-expression in any scenario. Our supportive, positive environment allows you to practice and get valuable feedback without pressure.
Whether you're a professional, student, at-home-parent, or retiree, you'll learn to:
- Think quickly on your feet (improptu speaking)
- Speak with clarity and poise
- Develop essential leadership skills
- Connect with an encouraging, diverse network
Guests are always welcome! Discover the most effective way to unlock your potential and gain peer respect.
Our members possess a wide range of English skill levels, from beginner to advanced.
To learn more and meet our members, visit a meeting. We meet from 6:30 to 7:30 PM Central Time on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month.
Four Seasons Toastmasters Club meets in a hybrid format. That means we meet both:
- In-person (in Community Room 2 at the YMCA in Bloomington IL)
- Through Zoom (for the Zoom login details, just text Sherri at 309-825-3746) or Bev at 309-830-4810.
There is no need to RSVP or even join this Meetup group to attend. Most of our members are not on Meetup.
Attending as a guest is always free. (Full participation in the program is available to members for approximately $10 per month.)
So, what can you expect at a Toastmasters meeting? Some members will give prepared speeches and then members and guests will be allowed to give impromptu speeches on selected topics. Constructive evaluation of the speeches and meeting follows, for continual improvement. (It's more fun than it sounds, and really helps improve skills.)
There is no obligation to speak--we wait until YOU feel ready.
If you would like to preview the flow of a typical Toastmasters meeting, watch this short video of a simulated meeting. It will help you better understand what we do and how it could benefit you. (One key difference: at Four Seasons Toastmasters, we do not vote on best speaker at our regular meetings.)
