We are a friendly #Toastmasters public speaking club based in Manor House, N4, North East London. We meet twice a month, online and in-person, for everyone interested on improving their public speaking skills!
We’re nearly halfway through the year, and it’s the perfect time to check in with your goals or work on your skills.
At Manor House Speakers, part of #Toastmasters UK and Ireland, we’re more than just speeches.

My latest let's-do-something-scary-until-it's-not-anymore is going to Toastmasters meetings to improve my public speaking skills. I was a Table Topics speaker and the Ah-Counter said I was completely clear of "ums" and "uhs"!

Thanks so much to our speaker Hannah Bays for her prepared speech tonight on her work in art and 'Mediatory Devices in Rome'🎨, and to our four guests tonight. It was also wonderful to see so many of our guests step up for off-the-cuff Table Topics, along with some of our regulars.
Spring is all about growth—so why not grow your public speaking and leadership skills too? 🌿🎤
Whether you're looking to overcome stage fright, speak with impact, or build leadership skills, Manor House Speakers is the perfect place to start.

Table Topics is such a valuable opportunity for anyone - including guests - to get some speaking practice for 1-2 minutes and can be a lot of fun.

1/ Answer: Table Topics.
I volunteered for Table Topics* during my first visit to a Toastmasters club, and immediately realized it was the best use of my time to get comfortable being uncomfortable while speaking in front of strangers.

Brag alert - Toastmasters International selected the LinkedIn Learning course that Poornima Vijayashanker and I created to be in their certificate path.
We developed our course to help people use storytelling in their presentations, even highly technical ones.

If public speaking or leadership skills are your new year project, you can find out more about Toastmasters 'pathways' for members here. For example, Presentation Mastery can be good if your main goal is just to start practicing speaking and build your confidence.

What a lovely #Winterfest in Woodberry Down last night with the Mayor of Hackney lighting the tree lights, children singing, wreath-making, supper at the Redmond Community Centre. Thanks to WDCO residents for all you do and to Berkeley Homes and NHG for a great party.
