As a Distinguished Toastmaster from the legacy program I joined Zoom Masters Toastmasters Club as I saw the need to improve my communication skills via on line.
Due to the current situation we had to move to on line meetings and Zoom Masters offered something unique and I was impressed
with the passion and energy from all of the members. Members were from a variety of background and from different parts of
the world. We are a truly global club. First impressions is very important and Zoom Masters do this very well with their
welcoming of all guests and self introduction of members at the start of the meeting. This makes everyone feel at ease and be part of
another exciting meeting ahead. What a great way to start a meeting. Zoom Masters also offer Leadership opportunities and the new committee has already been busy, I cannot be more excited for the future of this club as we move forward.
Such is my belief in this club that I volunteered to be the Club President after completing my term as District Director.
I thoroughly recommend Zoom Masters to anyone who wants to develop their on line presentation or hone their skills further.
This is one of the best decisions that I've ever made.

I read about Toastmasters in a book by a US author and entrepreneur I admired. She couldn’t speak highly enough of the value of Toastmasters in helping her become a successful business woman and even better mother. I jumped on the web and was immediately impressed at the breadth of information provided by Toastmasters at international, country, state and even club levels – they had so much to offer and all seemed so welcoming!
I took their advice and visited several different clubs before deciding that St George’s had the right mix of people, rofessionalism and fun that I was looking for – no pressure from any club to join. Even now, four years later, I love visiting other clubs to see new delivery techniques, hear new ideas and feel the energy from a different group of people. Even better is that my husband joined a different club at the same time and we now enjoy a wonderful shared ‘passion’ that benefits our relationships with each other, our children, and our workplaces.

I live in Singapore and have been a member of Perth Zoom Toast Master since August 2020. I met Juliana Kelly, one of the club officers when she was co-teaching a course on Communication at INSEAD Business School where I work. I was impressed by her poise and superb communication skills. She invited me to join Zoom Master as a guest which I did. For me, I was looking to improve my speaking but also looking to have fun while doing it. Zoom Toast Master trial experience ticked both of these boxes for me which led me to signing up as a permanent member. I would highly recommend our friends from around the world join us as a guest (it’s free!) and see where that experience takes you.

During my career phase, I realised how communication skill is a fundamental part of our life. Be it in English or French or Hindi or Spanish, we should always be clear and confident while expressing ourselves and conveying a message. I have also learnt that communication is not just about speaking but also about listening and considering others’ words and opinions. I have always attempted best to be confident in expressing myself but I still feel that I have more to learn.
I finally saw light at the end of the tunnel, when one of the members from the Toastmaster, Brigitte Julien, had asked me to join as a guest for the session. After I joined as a guest three times, I was assured that this platform, Toastmaster, is where I can get my speaking and listening skills polished. My goal is to see myself as a bold, knowledgeable, and a confident person in the next incoming months. After I met the other members during the session, I was certain that I can achieve this goal. I am looking forward to embarking on this exciting journey of mine.

Zoom-Masters is more than learning how to improve your speaking ability. It introduced me to a whole new group of people, all with the same goal in mind, who meet online every two weeks in a friendly and social way. This alone added another dimension to my life.
