Speakers
Welcome to Holborn Speakers
- I want a safe environment where I can improve my public speaking.
- My speeches are bland and dull - how do I inject some passion?
- I want to become an effective communicator.
- I would like to make a living from public speaking.
Does any of this sound familiar? If so, Holborn Speakers can help. We are a public speaking club that is affiliated with Toastmasters International, a non-profit organisation. There are more than 11,000 affiliated clubs worldwide with over 215,000 members. Our mission is to provide a supportive environment for people to practice and improve their public speaking, communication and leadership skills.
Come Along!
Your first (and biggest!) step to improvement is to come along to one of our meetings as a guest. Our club thrives on guests and we have many new faces each week. We won't make you speak if you don't want to and we won't try to sign you up either. In fact, we always recommend that people new to Toastmasters visit a couple of the clubs in London as a guest. Most people come back and join Holborn Speakers, so we can confidently say that we're probably the friendliest of all the London Toastmasters clubs!
You can come as a guest as often as you like until you decide whether it's for you or not. Most of our guests become members and we hope you will too.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Where and When
When: Tuesday nights at 6.30pm (first 4 Tuesdays of each month)
Where: Rugby Tavern, 19 Great James Street, London, WC1N 3ES [Map] Nearest tube station is Holborn, which is about 8 minutes walk away.
On the first Tuesday of the month we hold special meetings, including workshops, competition evenings and speakathons. Our regular meetings are held on the second, third and fourth Tuesdays of each month.
Although we normally meet at the Rubgy Tavern, sometimes it's not available and we use one of our backup locations instead. Be sure to check out our schedule to see the dates and locations of our meetings.
Still Have Doubts?
We were all guests once, and are now glad that we turned up to Holborn Speakers one Tuesday night. It's no exaggeration to say that Holborn Speakers has opened a new chapter in our lives.
You won't be alone in a sea of seasoned public speakers. Besides the other guests, our newer members will also be there. They will be happy to share their own stories and reasons for joining.
If you don't want to commit just yet, but do want to be kept informed of our upcoming meetings, you can subscribe to our meeting notification list here.
We hope to hear from you or see you soon.
