Welcome to the Vienna Toastmasters Club website !

The nonprofit organization now has nearly 235,000 members in 11,700 clubs in 92 countries, offering a proven and enjoyable! way to practice and hone communication and leadership skills.
What΄s the secret to Toastmasters` success ?
Practice. Toastmasters believe that people only can truly improve their public speaking skills by speaking in front of others regulary.
Toastmasters is dedicated to helping men and women learn the arts of speaking, listening and thinking vital skills that enhance one΄s communication skills and leadership potential.
How does it work ?
Most Toastmasters meetings are comprised of approximately 20 people who meet regularly (every two weeks) for an hour or two. Participants practice and learn by delivering speeches and by filling meeting roles such as to serving as evaluator, timer, grammarian.
There is no instructor, instead, each speech is given feedback to by another member in a positive manner, pointing out strengths and suggesting improvements. Constructive evaluation is the heart of the Toastmasters program. The environment is friendly and supportive, and the self-paced program allows to build confidence with each speaking assignment.
