Our Club meetings give members the opportunity to learn and practise communication and leadership skills – by delivering prepared and impromptu speeches, and by taking on a variety of meeting roles.

Toastmasters International has a really useful guide on what is expected from each meeting role, and which skills you will explore and improve on. You can see the guide here.

At London Cardinals, we have compiled tips for delivering functionary roles, as well as general tips on how to write and deliver speeches. We turned those tips into video clips, which you can access below.

We hope these tips are helpful, whether you are a new member or a seasoned Toastmaster.
