Did your knees tremble, your stomach churn?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, Muswellbrook Toastmasters can help you overcome your nerves.

The group will conduct an Introduction to Public Speaking course in the Ron Adams Room of the Muswellbrook and District Workers Club, starting from August 3.

It will take place over five Mondays, ending on September 21. 

“This is the ideal opportunity for residents to improve their public speaking skills, learn to listen effectively, express thoughts clearly and present inspirational speeches,” Muswellbrook Toastmasters vice-president public relations Jenny Webster said.

“Interviews for positions can be daunting for some people.

“However, the course is designed to allay fears of the unknown question being thrown at you.

“We hope that people will see these five Mondays as an ideal occasion to attend and calm the nerves enough to dispel any unpleasant thoughts of speaking in public, or attending that job interview.”

Costs are $50 for the five evenings, which includes a workbook and personal mentor for the meetings.

Times are set from 6.45pm for a 7pm start and 9pm conclusion on each of the Mondays.

For those who cannot attend on those dates, there are alternatives, and you can contact Graham Turvey on 0434 986 006 for that information as well.
