Port Louis Toastmasters Club
Are you of those who feel that speaking before an audience is torture? You have butterflies, you feel that your voice is not coming out, you have a blank and your hands are shaking …. ?>
Toastmasters is right for you then. If you want to improve your communication and leadership skills in a supportive environment, a Toastmasters club is your perfect solution.
Toastmasters International is a non-profit organization which as per its mission statement “is the leading movement devoted to making effective oral communication a worldwide reality” . A Toastmasters club gives its members the opportunity to develop and improve their public speaking abilities through local club and inter-club meetings, speech contests , to name but a few.

Toastmasters will give you the skills and confidence you need to effectively express yourself in any situation. Whether you are a professional, student, stay-at-home parent or retiree, Toastmasters is the most efficient, enjoyable and affordable way of gaining great communication skills. By learning to effectively formulate and express your ideas, you open an entirely new world of possibilities. You’ll be more persuasive and confident when giving presentations, and you’ll improve your one-on-one dealings with others.
Don’t worry! Everyone in a Toastmasters club was once at the level you are now. The environment is friendly and supportive, and the self-paced program allows you to build confidence with each speaking assignment. And you’ll love the applause! Constructive evaluation is the heart of the Toastmasters program. Each time you give a prepared speech, an evaluator will point out strengths and suggest improvements. At first you’ll be applauded for your effort; later you’ll be applauded for your skill.
One of more than 10,500 clubs in the world, the Port Louis Toastmasters club was the first Mauritian Toastmasters club to charter in July 2000.
Each meeting gives everyone an opportunity to practice conducting meetings, giving impromptu speeches, presenting prepared speeches, and offering constructive evaluation. The Port Louis Toastmasters club is a community club. Feel free to come to a few meetings and see if it is the right atmosphere for you.
