Toastmasters Open House Slated for Oct. 21, Open to Public

Want to improve your communication and leadership skills? Develop greater self-confidence and skill when speaking in front of a group? Or even overcome a fear of public speaking?

Toastmasters can help you become a more powerful, persuasive and confident speaker and leader. See for yourself during an open house hosted by Plainfield’s own Bridge Builders Toastmasters Club on Tuesday, Oct. 21, from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Chicago Bridge & Iron (CB&I), 14105 S. Route 59, Plainfield (just north of 143rd).

Toastmasters International is a nonprofit educational organization that teaches public speaking and leadership skills through a worldwide network of clubs. Members join Toastmasters for many reasons, including conquering a fear of public speaking. People who are comfortable with public speaking also benefit, by learning how to more clearly organize their presentations, use body language that supports their message, incorporate vocal variety, better manage their time, be more skilled at impromptu speaking, and more.

Lunch will be provided at the meeting. Attendees are requested to bring their own beverages. To RSVP, please call Elaine Sommer at (815) 439-6577 by Friday, Oct. 17.
