2. What is Speechcraft? It is magic
“It is amazing to see the difference
in all of us” Edwina

3. Community Based Programs:
Speechcraft
The Speechcraft program allows experienced
Toastmasters to present the fundamentals of public
speaking to non-members. It can be offered as an
integral part of your club meeting or as a seminar-style
program presented outside the club. It can be
conducted in four, six or eight sessions.
Conducting Speechcraft inside the club setting
makes it easier for participants to become members.
Conducting Speechcraft outside the club setting
can lead to the formation of a new Toastmasters
club.
