A FREE event aimed at improving speaking and leadership skills is being held at Worcester Guildhall.

The Speak, Learn and Grow conference held by Malvern Speakers/Toastmasters International is taking place tomorrow (Tuesday, July 31) at 7.15pm.

The event includes prepared speeches by members, as well as table topics – a fun activity where we throw out a topic and volunteers will then speak to the group for one or two minutes with no preparation.

President Steve Birch said: "Members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive and friendly environment where we're all in it together. It’s a nice party atmosphere, usually between 20 – 25 people, including guests - who are always welcome - and there’s always some delicious home-made cake to enjoy during the networking break – where you can also enjoy a drink or coffee from the bar downstairs.

"Each meeting gives everyone an opportunity to practice, conducting meetings, giving impromptu speeches, presenting prepared speeches and offering constructive evaluation."

Toastmasters International is a worldwide organisation that has helped more than four million people to become more confident speakers and leaders.
