Our Purpose:
Onehunga Toastmasters is devoted to helping people improve their oral communication and leadership skills in a supportive and positive learning environment. Members follow a tried-and-tested, structured and relaxed approach to developing skills – one step at a time. Many members have shed their fear of public speaking and have acquired additional skills to help them in their jobs and careers. Members become better listeners. They learn to lead teams and conduct meetings. They learn to give and receive constructive, helpful evaluations. The Toastmasters program enhances whatever initial speaking and leadership skills members may have. Whether you are a professional, student, stay-at-home parent, or retiree, Onehunga Toastmasters has a program to help you.
