As an advanced club our mission is to help you get to the next level in your Toastmasters journey. Our vision is to have a group where advance speakers can thrive and pursue other activities to improve our communication skills that other clubs may not be able to provide. A few benefits of our group include receiving strong evaluations, delivering longer and specialty speeches, and learning from other accomplished Toastmasters.
Whether you are working towards DTM under the legacy program (that sunsets by the end of June 2020) or in the current Pathways curriculum, our club can help you towards your DTM goal. The unique structure of our meetings allows for more prepared speaking opportunities so that you can reach your DTM sooner.
Are you looking to complete more speeches in to reach your DTM under the traditional program by June of 2020? Do you need to fulfill other requirements like speech modules? Or do you have special projects you want to work on? No need to fear! Our club can help you.
"I started Just Speeches to reach DTM under Toastmasters' legacy program. It has now become a great opportunity where advanced members can really push themselves to the next level in Toastmasters with more prepared speaking slots, specialty speeches, high quality evaluations, and other advanced level speaking skill activities."
āAdvanced members are motivated to help each other by providing strong evaluations in a friendly, fun & low pressure setting. This is definitely the group that can help members pursue their next level speaking goals whether it is to be a speech contestant, a professional speaker, or an overall more polished communicator."
"Just Speeches is not just a lifesaver, but one of the best groups. It has provided me the opportunity to complete my ACS in no time! More importantly, I can see how advanced members can definitely gain an edge through more speaking opportunities, higher standards, and mutual support of each other."
What are the qualifications to be a club member?
To provide the highest caliber program and to gain the most out of our advanced club, each member should at minimum have completed their CC or Pathways equivalent when joining.
How is the club able to provide more speaking opportunities to members?
We have a unique meeting agenda that focuses on maximizing speaking opportunities as well as providing hands on training on speaking techniques. Furthermore, since club business is more streamlined as many advanced members know the ins and outs of running a club and have served in various leadership positions, there is more time and opportunity for members to focus on speaking goals.
Is the club just for those who want to finish their speeches under the traditional Toastmasters legacy curriculum?
No, our club is for all advanced members regardless if they are working towards educational goals in the traditional program or in Pathways. Because the legacy program is sunsetting in June 2020 and many Toastmasters under the traditional program don't want their hard earned credit wasted, we are also making available additional meetings to help members finish their educational goals in time. Contact us for more information.
