The Saint-Lawrence Toastmasters Club in downtown Montreal is proud to welcome a few new members.

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.

Here is the programme for the meeting of October 29, 2024.

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!

Interested in knowing more about the history of Toastmasters? Here is a link to a condensed timeline (“100 Years at a Glance”) on the Toastmasters International website.

The Saint-Lawrence Toastmasters Club in Montreal would like to welcome Gavin, who actually joined as a new member in late May 2024!

Yanick Daoust (club president 2023-2024) welcomes our new member Gavin

We like to ask our new members to share with us some of the reasons why they decided to join Toastmasters. Gavin has finally sent us his text, which is as follows:

I’m excited to be here. Toastmasters is one piece of a theory that I am exploring, where I am looking to meet, and engage with like minded people in real life. In addition to refining my speaking skills, I enjoy chatting with a group of intelligent, driven, and well educated folks who I believe are on the cutting edge of their fields, and I look forward to seeing what everyone will continue to accomplish. Thank you for having me here.

Notre club Toastmasters à Montréal est fier d’accueillir un nouveau membre, Simon.

Yanick, président du club, accueille Simon à Saint-Lawrence Toastmasters

Nous sommes curieux de connaître les motivations de nos membres quant à leur inscription à notre club. Voici le témoignage de Simon :

J’ai rejoint St-Lawrence Toastmasters car je cherchais un nouveau milieu où élargir mon champ d’intérêts. Je me suis fortement négligé au niveau du développement social depuis les années de covid, qui m’ont affecté de manière inattendue. J’ai également été blessé par mes premières expériences sur le marché du travail et j’ai ainsi beaucoup de difficultés à exprimer tout ce que je ressens. J’espère à Toastmasters parvenir à être une personne expressive et qui maîtrise plus de capacités non-verbales.

J’ai rejoint le club Toasmasters car je trouve inspirant de pratiquer régulièrement la prise de parole en public avec des gens de différents backgrounds et expériences.
Mes objectifs sont de développer mon aisance et ma confiance durant les speechs.
