Welcome to the website of HP Northside Toastmasters! We're a public speaking group located on the HP Campus in Roseville, California. We meet every
TUESDAY from 12:00-1:00, and are open to everyone - not just HP employees.
Since 1924, Toastmasters International has helped millions of men and women become more confident in front of an audience. Our network of clubs and their learn-by-doing program are sure to help you become a better speaker and leader.
Toastmasters will give you the skills and confidence you need to effectively express yourself in any situation. Whether you are a professional, student, stay-at-home parent or retiree, Toastmasters is the most efficient, enjoyable and affordable way of gaining great communication skills. By learning to effectively formulate and express your ideas, you open an entirely new world of possibilities. You’ll be more persuasive and confident when giving presentations, and you’ll improve your one-on-one dealings with others.
At HP Northside Toastmasters, we like to say that Toastmasters is a good place to fail. That is to say, there's no better place to improve your skills - and make mistakes - than in the friendly and supportive Toastmasters environment, where you can feel comfortable learning how to speak in front of a crowd. It's better to make a mistake here than in front of your manager!
The Toastmasters self-paced program allows you to build confidence with each speaking assignment. Constructive evaluation is the heart of the Toastmasters program. Each time you give a prepared speech, an evaluator will point out strengths and suggest improvements. At first you’ll be applauded for your effort; later you’ll be applauded for your skill.
Toastmasters currently has more than 200,000 members in 80 countries. Our club is just one of the more than 10,000 clubs located around the world. For membership meeting information, please see our membership information page and our blog.
