Joining the Notre Dame Toastmasters Club

Please consider this invitation from Laura Walker to join the Notre Dame Toastmasters club.

As you are meeting with your teams and considering professional development options available, a great option at Notre Dame to build communication and leadership skills is through the Notre Dame Toastmasters club. Notre Dame Toastmasters offers a safe and supportive environment for those looking to communicate and lead with confidence. Meetings are held virtually and in person weekly on Tuesdays at 4:30 and allow members an ongoing platform to work on both prepared speeches and impromptu speaking skills.

Each meeting is structured to build one’s acumen on:
– Conducting a meeting in a timely and professional manner
– Managing the use of filler words or disfluencies when speaking
– Awareness of gestures and use of body language
– Eye contact
– Vocal variety
– Listening and giving constructive feedback
– Opportunities to lead on special projects

In addition, Notre Dame Toastmasters is fun! Members meet and learn from colleagues across campus on a variety of topics that grow one as a person.

To learn more about the club, visit their website or contact toastmasters@nd.edu. Our very own Laura Walker currently serves as on the board for the Notre Dame Toastmasters club so you can also reach out to her with questions!
