Meadowbank Toastmasters - Tuesday, September 7th (Tonight!) - Welcome, Visitor! See what Toastmasters looks like and what belonging to a club can do for you!

Barry Shaw from Meadowbank Toastmasters

Most people visiting a Toastmasters club for the first time and being asked why they considered coming to the club usually describe themselves as "shy", "unable to talk in front of a lot of people" and "not skilled in speaking".
(Doing this actually starts the change process!) (That's why we ask!)


A few weeks later, they look back at how they began and report their transformation: "I talk to the boss now", "I don't quail at the offer to lead the office meeting" and "I have learned that I can learn"!


These are the success stories I love to hear.


What about you?
Ready to learn and grow?
And succeed?


See you tonight ONLINE on ZOOM.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
