Project Speakers Session

In this section, Toastmasters practice their public speaking skills by giving a prepared presentation from the Communication and Leadership Programmes. Each project in every manual has a specific objective in an area that helps you practice different speaking techniques. These objectives are designed as guidelines to help you think about the various qualities that comprise a good speech. Some speakers may be giving an icebreaker, while others may be trying to persuade you to their point of view, or inform you about technical issues relating to their hobby or occupation. You'll learn something new with every speech you listen to!
