Stories from our members
“Toastmasters is an incredible community where you practice your leadership and public speaking skills, and make friends. Thanks to Toastmasters, presenting and talking in front of others has been a game changer for me. The contribution that Toastmasters has made to my life, personally and professionally, has been invaluable.”
Stephanie Leroux
“My experience in an English-speaking Toastmasters club has been transformative, both professionally and personally. Beyond improving my confidence in English, it connected me with outstanding professionals, leading to collaborations, partnerships, and new career opportunities. Every meeting exposed me to new ideas and perspectives beyond my field of expertise. Toastmasters has been much more than a public speaking club. It has been a community that has expanded both my voice and my horizons.”
BETSY ANCIANI
“A relative told me about Toastmasters and advised me to join. From my very first visit, members offered selfless support, explaining the meeting dynamics and different roles to me. This guidance helped me develop strong communication and leadership skills.
Being in Toastmasters has brought me many rewarding moments. I served as club president for a full year and met wonderful friends with diverse interests. A highlight came in 2023, when I won the humor contest among Latin American clubs.”
Eliseo Baquero
“I first learned about Toastmasters through a professor’s advice as an international student in Australia struggling with English. That advice changed my life: Toastmasters empowered my voice, opened doors in Portugal, the United States, and Colombia, and became one of the most valuable tools during my MBA. Today, I have the opportunity to pay that gift forward by helping others find their voice”
Wendy Herrera
“I found Toastmasters by accident after watching a YouTube interview where a speaker highly recommended it. Joining was an amazing decision. It’s helped me become more confident in public speaking while meeting great people in a warm, friendly, professional environment. I’ve also connected with an amazing community from around the world.”
Santiago obando
“Joining Toastmasters was a journey of continuous learning. Public speaking was genuinely difficult for me – I used to feel intense anxiety weeks before any presentation. Through the club, I found a supportive environment where I could practice, make mistakes, and grow at my own pace. Being part of the executive team took my growth even further, helping me develop leadership, event organization, and social media skills in a space where learning came before perfection. Today, I look back with real gratitude.”
Gina Garzon
“I joined Toastmasters at the end of 2023 to improve my public speaking skills and become more fluent and confident in English. Through speeches, meeting roles, and constructive feedback, I’ve strengthened my ability to organize ideas, communicate clearly, and speak in front of an audience – progress supported by other activities like Duolingo, Loora, watching content in English, and teaching Python in English.”
Héctor Ramírez
“For me, Toastmasters was a very important opportunity to strengthen my public speaking skills, gain confidence both in my abilities and in the English language, and learn about many topics that have been important for my professional development. It also allowed me to build friendships and be part of a community of driven, highly capable people”
Maly Puerto
“Joining Toastmasters was significant in my development. I learned to pitch my ideas, hold the attention of a room, prepare speeches, and work as a team. I continue to use these skills whenever I teach students or network in my industry. Through cooperation and peer-to-peer feedback, members improve their communication and leadership while building meaningful connections. More importantly, Toastmasters provides a community of like-minded people committed to helping each other grow.”
Diego Ramirez
“Toastmasters has had a significant impact on my personal and professional life by boosting my self-confidence, developing my public speaking skills, and improving the quality of my executive-level oral presentations.”
