Speechcraft
What is Speechcraft?
Speechcraft is an extended workshop on communication
and leadership. The participants learn about various
aspects of communication and leadership and are supported
by a team of presenters and mentors and guided by a
coordinator.
Why Should a Club Hold a Speechcraft?
Clubs find many benefits in hosting a Speechcraft session:
- Build club membership
- Give new members a helping hand with the different
meeting roles
- Reach out to the community
- Give experienced members an opportunity to grow
- Share the Toastmasters experience with others
Also, individual Toastmasters can build their leadership
skills and fulfill one of the requirements for Advanced
Toastmaster Gold recognition by coordinating a Speechcraft
session.
How Does a Club Host a Speechcraft?
The club hosting the Speechcraft session should order
a Speechcraft package from Toastmasters International.
This package contains a Coordinator's Guide, Participant
Handbooks, and other supporting materials.
If your club would like to host a Speechcraft session,
contact District 4's
Lieutenant Governor of Marketing, who will help
you coordinate a Speechcraft, tailor it to your club's
needs, refer people as participants and presenters,
and provide other resources as needed for your Speechcraft
to be a success.
