 Welcome to Toastmasters
Division B(rilliant)!
If you live or work in London and want to improve your confidence, leadership and public speaking skills we have a club that can help you.
Toastmasters clubs offer a proven way to improve your communication skills. Joining can help you become a better speaker, listener and leader - and gain confidence to succeed in whatever path you've chosen in life. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced speaker, Toastmasters can offer you an opportunity to learn and hone your skills in a supportive friendly environment.
Come and visit one or more of our friendly clubs in a part of London that suits you. You'll find information right here on d71.org. You'll also find up to the minute news, interviews and much more on The London Speaker.
You'll see we have a range of clubs including early morning clubs that meet for an hour or so plus evening clubs with a range of starting times. We also have in-company clubs for employees of particular organisations.
When you visit one of our clubs, speak to as many of the members as you can. You'll find out why they joined and how they are now benefiting from their membership. Many members will tell you how they joined to improve their public speaking skills and self confidence. You’ll hear how since they joined, their skills and confidence have soared.

| Message from the District Governor |
 I walked into my first Toastmasters meeting in August 1999 and was amazed at the energy and passion I found there amongst the members. I was also amazed at the nerves and anxiety I personally was feeling! That was okay though because everyone was so enthusiastic about what Toastmasters could do for me that it put me at ease. Because their energy was so infectious I know it was on that day I found my passion for this organisation and I have been inspired ever since to pass it on.
The passion is strongest when we meet new people and share with them the journey that we are on and how it all started. Like Ralph Smedley, we all start small and build upon our skills as we go. These are not only communication or speaking skills, these also include leadership skills which form a very important part of the journey for the members and leaders of our District!
 As a member of District 71 you are part of a bigger team which consists of over 6000 members! Welcome to the family! As a member of this team I think it is important for us to be connected so I want to share with you an exercise called the 'String Game'. It is my belief that every member in the District is holding a piece of the District 71 String. As long as we all hold our part of the string tightly then we remain connected and supported as a team and we work together towards our goals! As soon as anyone drops their part of the string we then become disconnected and unsupported.
I am passionate about Toastmasters and what is does for our members, what it has done for me and the potential it holds for those who don't know us yet! I think it is infectious and I challenge everyone to hold their part of the District 71 string TIGHTLY! Pass on your passion to those you meet, your friends, your family, your colleagues and give them a new piece of the string!
You will be amazed at just how inspiring you can be when your energy and passion is passed on! It will drive us towards success with our Members, our Clubs, our Areas, our Divisions and our District.
Here's to a great year of inspiration, passion and achievement and to a fully connected Inspire With Passion District Team!
Passionately yours!
Teresa Dukes, DTM
