Public Speaking

Guided by the proven framework of Toastmasters International, members practice speaking in a supportive, judgment-free environment designed to turn fear into confidence. At Peachtree Toastmasters, you don’t just learn about public speaking—you build confidence by doing, practicing five essential forms of public speaking that mirror real-world situations:

• Prepared speeches — typically 5–7 minutes, planned and delivered through guided projects

• Impromptu speaking —1–2 minute on-the-spot responses to theme-based questions

• Meeting leadership speaking — presenting and facilitating as the meeting emcee 

• Evaluative speaking — delivering clear, constructive feedback to help others grow once you’ve gained foundational speaking experience

• Humorous speaking — brief 1–2 minute moments of humor to warm up the room before the meeting begins

Leadership

Leadership isn’t learned by watching—it’s learned by stepping up. At Peachtree Toastmasters, members build leadership skills in a supportive, encouraging environment where growth happens through real experience, not theory. You’ll gain confidence leading others, organizing meetings, and communicating with purpose—at a pace that feels right for you.

• Lead parts of meetings in a supportive, low-pressure environment

• Build confidence by guiding and supporting fellow members

• Grow real-world leadership skills through hands-on roles

• Optionally take on club leadership positions when you’re ready to lead at a higher level

Constructive Feedback

By following Toastmasters International meeting standards, Peachtree Toastmasters helps members learn how to give and receive meaningful feedback—strengthening impromptu speaking, speech development, communication effectiveness, and emotional intelligence.
