Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I join Toastmasters?

According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two.

The fear of public speaking outranks the fear of death by a margin of two-to-one according to a survey reported in The Book of Lists.

Toastmasters can help. Whether you need to speak publicly for your career or personal life, to run your meetings more effectively, to lead your group more effectively, or to do some self-image improvement.

Toastmasters helps you get over the fear of public speaking and teaches you how to channel that anxiety into presenting dynamic speeches that inspire your audience.

You are given all the tools necessary: Opportunities to speak publicly in a "safe" environment; educational manuals; constructive evaluation; evaluating others; and listening to experienced speakers.

You start with the Competent Toastmasters program, a series of ten speeches. Each speech works on a different skill that progresses you from getting over your initial fear of public speaking with the "Ice Breaker", then works on organization, gestures, and props to finally reach the point of giving an inspirational speech.

Once you obtain your Competent Toastmaster designation, you can continue to obtain more advanced speaking and leadership skills. Remember that good public speaking happens with lots of practice and is maintained with practice.

How do I join Toastmasters?

You can contact the Vice President Membership Sithy Zubaidah. Her e-mail address is zubaidah.habeeb@gmail.com. You will give her your information and she will register you in the club. You will also have to pay an amount of 20$ plus 36$ every 6 months to the President Sarah Almuhammedi. After the registration is completed, in a few weeks you will receive your New Member Kit. In the meantime you can still attend meetings and participate. However, nothing will be recorded until you get your kit. All participations before receiving the kit will be considered as practices for your best interest.

What’s in the New Member Kit?

The New Member Kit contains a set of two books that guides you to become a better speaker and a better leader.

1. Competent Communication

This book consist of 10 projects that you will have to accomplish, along with the other 10 that will be discussed below, to receive your certification. With each project is a guide to help you become a better speaker.

2. Competent Leadership

This book consists of the other 10 projects that you will also have to accomplish to receive your certification. This book aims on making you a better leader.

Can I just walk into a meeting?

Guests are always welcome to visit Rise In Glory Toastmaster meeting. You are welcome to "just show up." We do ask that you be on time and stay for the entire meeting. You will be greeted by the club officers. You will be given the opportunity to participate if you would like to - but it is not necessary.

Can I bring someone to a meeting?

Sure! Guests are always welcome at Rise In Glory Toastmasters. Sometimes it is easier to meet new people when you bring a friend along.

If I visit, would I have to talk before the entire group?

Only if you want to! We always acknowledge our guests and ask if they have any comments to share, but you're also more than welcome to sit back and just take in the proceedings.

What will happen when I visit?

All of us understand what it is like trying to move beyond our public speaking and interpersonal communications "comfort zones". Visitors (and members, too) are respected here. You will be warmly greeted a lot! We will probably ask if you'd like to participate in the Table Topics portion of our meeting (which you may simply decline). You may also be asked at the close of the meeting to share your thoughts about us (again, you may simply decline).
