UNB Saint John Toastmasters Club
Description: Toastmasters is an organization created for people like us. It is a way for people to overcome their fear of speaking in crowds and to improve all aspects of their communication skills. It is possible that you can be as calm and collected as that person you know is getting an “A,” and to say what you actually meant, instead of what came out of your mouth.
Until now, this kind of support has not been available at UNBSJ but, on Fridays, support will be available. A student run chapter of Toastmasters had its first meeting on Friday January 22. The club will be offering the skills needed to transform you from a person with cold sweats and shaking knees into a person who can approach a presentation with confidence and, YES, even enjoyment!
