New members Keith, Jean-Christophe, Kaya and Ndjacho being welcomed by our club president Frédéric

We customarily like to ask our new members to share with us some of the reasons that motivated them to join Toastmasters…

From Keith:

The St Lawrence Toastmasters Club is a high achieving club, which is reflected in its member’s authenticity, diligence and openness to share their experience with others. I’m here to improve my public speaking skills for a podcast that I have begun. I wish to practice creating a connection with my audience by augmenting my vocal variety and clarity to better persuade them to catch my vision.

De Jean-Christophe :

J’ai rejoint Toasmasters International afin d’améliorer ma parole; selon l’axe théorique et pratique.
Pour la première dimension, ce que proposent les Toasmasters au travers de leur programme Pathway devrait me permettre de rédiger efficacement, selon mes objectifs, des discours persuasifs; avec différentes manières de le faire. De nombreux documents pratiques sont disponibles sur le site web qui me semble fournir une matière éducative riche et construite.
Et puis, bien entendu, surtout, l’aspect pratique avec mon choix pour le club St-Lawrence Toastmasters de Montréal. Le côté bilingue, les régulières mises à jour du site web m’ont orienté vers ce club que je découvre depuis quelques semaines. 
Mon choix? J’en suis ravi !

From Ndjacho:

One of my goals has always been to learn how to communicate effectively at all levels. Joining St-Lawrence Toastmasters Club is my way of fulfilling that goal.

From Kaya:

I’ve joined Toastmasters because I really value challenge and the opportunities it can present for growth. And to be able to communicate effectively, especially in large groups, can be quite challenging(!) I want to practice this skill with like-minded and supportive individuals who are open to sharing experiences and advice so we can all learn together.

Toastmasters International is proudly celebrating its 100th anniversary this October, marking a century of empowering individuals to become confident communicators and leaders.

To commemorate this historic milestone, the members of the Saint-Lawrence Toastmasters Club in Montreal enjoyed a delicious cake, reflecting on the rich legacy of Toastmasters since its first meeting on October 22, 1924. (Coincidentally, because our club meets every Tuesday evening, we therefore had the opportunity to celebrate on the exact 100th anniversary date of October 22, 2024!)

This celebration not only honored our past but also inspired us to continue fostering growth and connection within our community as we look forward to the next century of Toastmasters!
