HITECH Toastmasters

The ability to “think and speak on your feet” is an important skill that often determines your success in job interviews, for example. All kinds of careers and occupations require this skill.

That’s why the “Table Topics” portion of the Toastmasters club meeting was developed. Table Topics provides you with the opportunity to practice impromptu speaking.. By answering brief Table Topics questions, you learn how to present your thoughts clearly and convincingly, with no more than a few seconds of preparation. You also learn to listen constructively, and to think flexibly.

What is Table Topics and how does it help me ?

Toastmasters have the tradition of clapping when someone stands up to speak or has  just finished speaking. This is to encourage the speakers and also to thank them for their efforts. It is of tremendous value in building the confidence of the speakers.

Why is there so much clapping ?
