Welcome to Area 39! Under the leadership of John Cox in 2012/13 the area was a massive success, and will definitely thrive this year.
All of our clubs will offer a warm welcome and allow you to achieve your goals. Toastmasters will help you to improve your communication and leadership skills, and clubs are home to people from a range of different backgrounds.
Area 39 is one of the largest areas, covering 8 clubs:
Bullring Speakers - Birmingham
East Midlands Speakers - Shardlow, Derbyshire
Heart Of England - Knowle, Solihull
Pick Everard Presents & Speaks - Leicester (please contact us first)
Shropshire Speakers - Telford
Spa Speakers - Leamington Spa
Warwick Speakers - University of Warwick
Robin Hood Speakers - West Bridgford, Nottingham
Why not come along to a club, or visit many different clubs in the area? By speaking in other clubs, you broaden your experience and get out of your comfort zone - speaking to a wider audience and maybe even in different circumstances.
So the theme for this year is to "get out of your comfort zone", and experience all that toastmasters has to offer.
Use the ambassodor programme to speak at many different clubs, widen your audience by bringing toastmasters into the community, into work and helping people of all ages. Why not start a club where you work, or talk about a Youth Leadership program for schools?
Establish your goals for the year, get out of your comfort zone and achieve! I am sure it will make for an incredibly successful year!
Have fun!
