This month our public speaking course will continue our education in impromptu speaking which started at the November meeting. This time one member will start the topic and after 2-3 minutes pass it to the next member who will continue and so on it until every member has spoken :-)
We'll also have a short club AGM this month where we'll review the previous year, elect new officers to run the club for the next year and set the membership fee for the following year.
Don't forget you can earn your Foundation Certificate in Public Speaking by the end of your first season and your full ASC Certificate in Public Speaking by the end of your second season. You'll then become an Accomplished Speaker of the ASC (Association of Speakers Clubs) which is a CPD accredited certificate and can be shown to an employer to verify your speaking skills. Please come along and try us out - I guarantee you'll learn a lot about public speaking :-) Coming along as a guest is free and if you decide to join us it will cost £40 per year for 11 meetings with full membership of the ASC into the bargain :-)
Felixstowe Speakers is a fantastic place for beginners to overcome their fears and take their first step on the road to speaking confidently in public. It's also an opportunity for more experienced speakers to improve their skills. We also welcome people who have a specific goal in mind - acceptance speeches, wedding speeches, work based presentations, etc.
The focus is on learning by doing and receiving feedback from more experienced members in a supportive environment. Over the years we have developed some very effective and proficient public speakers and guests are very welcome to come along to see how we work.
