What is Toastmasters? 
• A global non-profit organization dedicated to 
improving public speaking, communication, and 
leadership skills 
• Founded in 1924 by Ralph Smedley 
• More than 10,000 clubs in the world 
• (200 clubs in GTA)
Why have a Toastmasters club at QSB? 
• Great way to work on SOFT SKILLS! 
• Communicate effectively and clearly 
• Get to know your classmates 
• Expand your knowledge base 
• Connect with alumni
What happens in a Toastmaster meeting? 
• Conducted like a business meeting 
–Speeches 
–Evaluations 
–Impromptu speaking
Other benefits 
• Very affordable membership 
• One of the best investments you can make! 
• Networking opportunities 
• Membership into an international community
Corporate Toastmasters Clubs
Why join a QSB club instead of a corporate club? 
• People usually feel a club away from work is 
more supportive and gives less pressure 
• Experiment and try different things without 
judgment 
• Your boss and coworkers won’t be there! 
– Imagine going to be a friend’s party but 
you’re parents, uncles, and aunts are there
Guess who else has a Toastmasters Club? 
These business schools… 
• University of Toronto 
• York University 
• MIT 
• University of Pennsylvania 
• University of Chicago 
• Duke University (Fuqua) 
… and many more 
If they all have one, then QSB can’t afford not to!
Next steps 
Demo meeting once there’s also interest 
– So contact me asap!
