Public Speaking_Toastmasters International

Recently started again to have some training on my public speaking/communication skills through the Toastmasters International. Since last time having the formal public speaking, it has been about one year that I didn't have really stand up and do the public presentation. In Toastmasters International, theere is the educational program consisted of series of projects on public speaking to learn different experiences.

Here are two major professional organizations for speakers:

The National Speakers Association (NSA)
is the leading organization for experts who speak professionally. NSA's 4,000 members include experts in a variety of industries and disciplines, who reach audiences as trainers, educators, humorists, motivators, consultants, authors and more. Since 1973, NSA has provided resources and education designed to advance the skills, integrity and value of its members and speaking profession. Visit NSA's Web site at www.nsaspeaker.org.

Toastmasters International
is known as the number one source for Public Speaking information. Their main goal is to help you become a better speaker, thinker, listener and leader by exposing you to a wide range of communication experiences. Includes lots of tips and information about local chapters.
