A new Flinders club is providing a supportive environment for staff and students alike who are keen to improve their ability to influence, engage and lead by honing their all-important presentation and speaking skills.
The Flinders University Toastmasters Club brings together both experienced and novice presenters to deliver speeches, including prepared and off-the-cuff, and provide coaching and feedback to build these critical skills in a safe and friendly environment.
Those set to benefit the most include people who:
- Have great ideas – but find it challenging to persuade others of their value
- Wish they always had a ready answer on the spot
- Have difficulty articulating their ideas to provide a quick, timely response
Toastmasters Club members let others speak their mind without interruption and provide immediate encouraging, constructive feedback to help build critical speaking skills – a key to success in any field.
Interested staff and students are invited to join the group on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month at 4:30pm, in the Oasis Common Room at Bedford Park campus.
