Toastmasters meets Monday, Feb. 13, at 7 p.m.

Warren Buffet says that public speaking skills can increase a person’s value by 50 percent.He himself has gone from a shy speaker to someone everyone listens to. If you, too, want to improve your public and professional image, check out a Toastmasters meeting. The NPC’s Toastmasters club consists of many seasoned professionals who continue to find value in practicing in this safe and friendly environment.

Buffett was in his 20s when he realized his inability to speak publicly would impede his business success. He took steps to rectify this impediment and counsels, “You’ve got to be able to communicate in life. It’s enormously important. If you can’t communicate and talk to other people and get across your ideas, you’re giving up your potential.”

Toastmasters International has been building speakers and leaders for over 100 years. Come see what it’s all about. We meet the second and fourth Mondays of each month from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Free.
