You have taken the first step to tackle your fear of public speaking. Now the next small step is to visit our club as a guest to see how we do this. We meet both in person and online on a Thursday evening, see future meeting dates down further.
Who are we?
We are a public speaking group based in North Dublin and our aim is to help each other improve our confidence when speaking. By participating in the meeting, we all practise and learn the basic skills of both impromtu (off the cuff) speaking and prepared speaking. This helps us with everything from giving presentations, to interview skills all the way down to general small talk. There is no substitute for regular practice of any skill, and public speaking is just another skill, that will improve each time you practice it.

What do we do?
At East Coast we are dedicated to helping our members become comfortable in front of an audience. The Club meetings have the usual format of prepared Speeches and Evaluations followed by a topics session. We welcome you to come along and see how the Toastmaster programme can assist you. Becoming a member can improve your communication skills to allow you to be comfortable in almost any social situation.
The meetings are friendly, fun and supportive and we usually have between 10 and 20 people in the room. It’s always a great night of entertainment. As one member often says, “You never leave without learning something”. Why not just show up for a meeting? You will be very welcome!
