Have you ever heard about Toastmasters Club Indonesia?

What is Toastmasters?
`
No, we don't make toasters!

From a humble beginning in 1924 at the YMCA in Santa Ana, California,
Toastmasters International has grown to become a world leader in helping
people become more competent and comfortable in front of an audience. The
nonprofit organization now has nearly 260,000 members in over 12,500 clubs
in 113 countries, offering a proven and enjoyable! way to practice and
hone communication and leadership skills.

Most Toastmasters meetings are comprised of approximately 20 people who
meet weekly for an hour or two. Participants practice and learn skills by filling a meeting role, ranging from giving a
prepared speech or an impromptu one to serving as timer, evaluator or grammarian.

There is no instructor; instead, each speech and meeting is critiqued by a member in a positive manner, focusing on
what was done right and what could be improved.

Good communicators tend to be good leaders. Some well-known Toastmasters alumni include:
Peter Coors of Coors Brewing Company
Debbi Fi el ds, founder of Mrs. Fields Cookies
Tom Peters, management expert and author
Li nda Li ngl e, Governor of Hawaii

Educational Program

Communication and leadership development

The educational program is the heart of every Toastmasters club. It provides members with a proven curriculum that
develops communication and leadership skills one step at a time, with many opportunities for awards and recognition
along the way. The communication and leadership tracks are not mutually exclusive; you may participate in both at
the same time, if you wish.
You progress along each track by working through a series of manuals, each of which offers a set of carefully
crafted projects to complete.
Each project includes an evaluation guide, which gives club members an easy way to provide immediate
feedback as the project is completed.
Once you become a member, you can begin the educational program right away.
The New Member Kit includes the following manuals to get you started in both tracks:
Competent Communication
Competent Leadership
Your Speaking Voice
Effective Evaluation
Gestures: Your Body Speaks


Communication Track

Talking on track
Members who wish to focus on communication skills begin with the
Competent Communication manual thats included in the New Member
Kit. Once they have completed this manual, they can progress to the
Advanced Communication Series.
Competent Communication manual
The 10 speech projects in this manual will help you develop your
speaking skills one step at a time. When you finish all of the projects,
you are eligible for Competent Communicator (CC) recognition.
Complete the CC application in the manual and ask your vice president
education to submit it online to World Headquarters. You'll receive a CC
certificate and, if this is your first CC award, two Advanced
Communication Series manuals free of charge.
Advanced Communication Series
After receiving CC recognition, you can work in the Advanced
Communication Series manuals, where youll refine and enhance your
speaking skills and become eligible for Advanced Communicator Bronze
(ACB), Advanced Communicator Silver (ACS) and Advanced
Communicator Gold (ACG) recognition. There are 15 manuals, each
containing five speech projects. Many of the manuals are career-
oriented. You choose the manuals you want to complete and the skills
you want to learn.
Of course, the Toastmasters educational program only makes sense
from a club perspective. Speaking and leadership skills cannot be
learned in isolation; to get the full benefit of the Toastmasters experience,
you have to join a club!

Leadership Track

Learn to lead with practical practice

Members working in the leadership track learn and practice leadership skills by serving in club roles.

The Competent Leadership manual is the core of the leadership track. It features 10 projects, which you
complete while serving in various club meeting roles. An evaluator will give you feedback on each project, helping
you to improve. When you complete the manual, you are eligible for Competent Leader recognition. Complete the CL
application in the manual and ask your vice president education to submit it online to World Headquarters. You'll
receive a CL certificate and, if you wish, World Headquarters will send your employer a letter about your
accomplishment.

Advanced Leader Program
After earning the CL award you can further refine and develop your leadership skills by working in the advanced
leader program. Members working in this program are eligible for Advanced Leader Bronze (ALB) and Advanced
Leader Silver (ALS) recognition.
