UAGC Toastmasters Clubs

Mission Statement 

The UAGC Toastmasters seek to help both students and faculty RISE through engagement in logic, oratory, and presentation skills. Toastmasters RISE by mastering and living out these four, key Toastmaster values: RESPECT | INTEGRITY | SERVICE|  EXCELLENCE

Toastmasters support each other, acknowledging that self-improvement and self-confidence are best actualized by individual growth through group accountability. UAGC Toastmasters seek to nurture and challenge all engaged to RISE to new heights in communication skills, knowledge of varying topics, and beneficial involvement in our communities.

The Power of Public Speaking

Public speaking is one of the most powerful fears that people identify. The National Institute of Mental Health (2017) reports that public speaking anxiety affects approximately 73% of the general population, mostly because of the anxiety and fear of judgment or negative evaluation by others. The degree of anxiety can range from experiencing panic attacks to merely getting butterflies in one’s stomach (Forbes, 2011). Feeling comfortable and confident when speaking in public is becoming more and more important in our lives, especially in the workplace. Our ability to speak well in public puts us front and center in interviews, meetings, and conferences, and enhances our opportunities for leadership.

 Here are some video testimonials as to the positive power of public speaking:
