KUCHING, July 31: Starting this month, the Kuching Toastmasters Club is offering free online workshops on subjects related to communication and public speaking.
According to a press release, the first workshop in the series, Speech Craft 101, was presented on July 26 through Zoom by a founding member of the club, Michael Lim, who is also known to club members as Uncle Mike.
The workshops that follow will cover other areas related to speech presentation, use of visual aids, and among others.
“We want to unleash the hidden potential that lurks within our members, to make them successful leaders and public speakers that surpass even their own expectations. That is the footprint I want to leave behind.” disclosed Elton Jong, the current club president.
“The online workshops being offered by our club is an unbelievable and invaluable opportunity for the participants to learn and improve their public-speaking skills. These sessions are comprehensively and intricately designed by our club to cover the key areas of public speaking for people of all backgrounds and line of work.
“More importantly, we believe this is a great opportunity to hone one’s public speaking skills as these are integral and necessary skills for a person from any profession and walk of life.”
The Kuching Toastmasters Club’s tagline for 2020-2021 is “Braving New Heights”.
