What we’re about
Greetings and Welcome
Would you like to become a better communicator?
Do you fear speaking in public, but your career now depends on it?
Would you like to get past the anxiety you often experience when expressing yourself?
Do you want to become a more dynamic speaker and presenter?
Would you like to practice impromptu speaking and interviewing skills?
Do want to become a better leader and practice those leadership skills?
If any of the above describes you, then you are like us. We are the local (Hickory) chapter of Toastmasters International. Toastmasters has been helping people become better speakers and leaders for almost 100 years.
We are a group of women and men of all ages and backgrounds that get together each week to help each other improve our oral communication skills. We are a fun and safe place to practice giving speeches and presentations, to engage in impromptu speaking exercises, to give and receive positive feedback, to work on your leadership skills, and to meet and hang out with others who are doing the same.
Our Toastmasters Club meets every Thursday night at 6:00 in the downtown Hickory area. We highly encourage you to come join us for a meeting to see what it is all about. Why not work on a little self-improvement while meeting some new people.
