Travelmasters is an online club for speakers, speech trainers, would be speakers, part of worldwide Toastmasters International which started in the USA a hundred years ago and now has hundreds of members and clubs worldwide and exciting, inspiring speech contests.
Why go to the Travelmasters club? Where and when is it? The second and 4th Wednesday evening every month, at 7 pm Eastern Standard time (New York time) on zoom. If you miss it or want to see a past meeting, you will be able to see the recordings
If you are already a Toastmasters you might want to give a speech on your travels overseas or travel in your country, or to take a role in a meeting, such as a timer, timing the speeches and signalling to the speaker how much time they have left and when to finish. Or as evaluator, give them encourgaing feedback and why you loved their speech, what they sid well, and useful suggestions on how they could improve and what to add.
But this club doesn't just have a niche, a theme, of travel. The policy of the Vice President of Education, Sarah, who organizes meetings (she;s top right in the photo above) and of Leesa (lower in the picture) is to make the meetings fun. Instead of the usual, conventional titles for their role holders, each one has an amusing name on the theme of travel.
1 You are bound to learn something interesting about travel because all the speeches are about travel
2 The meetings are fun.
3 You have an opportunty to meet well-travelled, interesting people.
4 It is a fantastic networking experience - they link you up with lots of other groups, such as the Gastronomy Toastmasters Club.
5 They can tell you how they transformed from a physical meeting to online meetings, and rescued and rebranded a club to make it a successful club .
Network, get new ideas, and link to other clubs such as Gastronomy.
