Toastmasters Clubs in Indore

Toastmasters International is a non-profit educational organization that teaches public speaking and leadership skills through a worldwide network of meeting locations. The mission of Toastmasters is to provide a mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which every member has the opportunity to develop communication and leadership skills, which in turn foster self-confidence and personal growth.

Keeping these objectives in mind, the first chapter of Toastmasters was opened in Indore at a reputed organization in May 2009 - this was a corporate club open only to the employees of the company. The club members meet every week for 90 minutes for delivering prepared speeches and impromptus. The members also perform various roles like Toastmaster, Table Topics Master, Ah Counter, Timer, Grammarian, Evaluator, etc which helps in developing their communication as well as leadership skills. The club has produced many Competent Communicators (a feat accomplished on completing 10 prepared speech projects) till date and many more are moving closer towards achieving this goal. A lot of members have also completed their Competent Leadership track certification, as well as advanced education awards.

There are two more clubs in the Indore Area of Toastmasters now: BeyondKey Indore Toastmasters (a community club open to all, for details refer to the club's facebook page) and Toastmasters at Planet-I (a corporate club open only for IIM-Indore students).

Three more clubs are in the making, one of which is a community club which needs to add members in order to be able to charter. So if any reader is willing to join Toastmasters, leave a comment on this post and i'll get back to you.
