About OAKS Toastmasters Club

Are you a State Farm associate who'd like to gain more self-confidence as a public speaker and also develop leadership skills? Would you like to surround yourself with supportive encouraging people who'll help you grow, develop, and learn?

Toastmasters can provide you with the skills and confidence to effectively express yourself in any situation. Our club has been helping IT and insurance professionals convey complex ideas clearly and understandably to any audience for nearly three decades.

What happens at a Toastmasters meeting? Members give prepared presentations and then other members provide constructive feedback. This feedback loop is what makes the program so successful! Also, members and guests have the opportunity to give impromptu speeches on selected topics. We promise you'll be neither bored nor made uncomfortable!

To learn more about us, visit one of our regular meetings. There’s never an obligation to speak at a meeting--we wait until you’re ready. Guests are ALWAYS welcome to attend and may participate at no cost. If you decide to join, membership costs $60 every six months, plus a $20 one-time fee for materials. Check with your management. It’s likely they'll cover the expense.

We look forward to meeting you!

 
How Toastmasters Helps Conquer Fear

Does the mere thought of being asked to say a few words fill you with dread?

If so, you’re hardly alone! Fear of public speaking is reputed to rank even higher than death! Whether it’s the upcoming wedding speech, an important presentation to your leadership and peers, or simply making your point in a meeting of colleagues, it’s easy for the fear to take over – so that you don’t perform at your best. There are consequences for how you’re viewed by friends, family and your boss, with follow-on emotional and economic impacts.

So what would you like to do about it? Toastmasters is the answer.

Our learn-by-doing program is sure to help you become a better speaker and leader because you’ll be building your skills at a pace that you choose. And the regular meetings ensure you practice and develop your skills – just as you might build your muscles through regular exercise.

Here are just some of the benefits of joining Toastmasters:

  • Regular and constructive feedback from other learners as you practice organizing your thoughts and presenting them clearly
  • Access to a wealth of educational materials and resources on public speaking, listening skills, and effective communication in conferences and meetings.
  • A free subscription to the Toastmaster, a monthly online magazine that provides insights on communication, leadership, club activities and other relevant topics.

Members quickly gain the skills that allow them to excel at job interviews, present humorous, informative or special occasion speeches, or give powerful business presentations.

Yes, there is work involved, but the payoff is well worth it. It's an investment in yourself.

Come along to our next meeting to find out more and see it in action. Guests are most welcome and can come as many times as they like.
