Why?
Being able to speak with confidence in public is something that almost anyone can do - given regular practice and expert advice and support. Oh, and a friendly and supportive atmosphere helps too!
Do you ...
* Feel panic if you are asked to speak out loud?
* Feel too shy to put your point of view?
* Want to improve your personal confidence and communication skills?
* Need to speak as part of your job?
* Have to speak at a function, such as make a wedding speech?
* Have to face that job interview?
* Need to speak at any social or business occasion?
* Already have an interest in speaking ?
* Just feel you'd like to try it?
If the answer to any of these is 'YES' then why not come along and visit us? Visitors are always welcome - come for a night out and see what we do - take part if you wish, but we will not pressurise you. The Association of Speakers Clubs may not be for you!
Our members are men and women who have a range of speaking skills, from experienced professionals to nervous beginners. Frequent opportunities to speak within the club definitely helps us to overcome problems and build confidence. You will be guided by experienced speakers (who have all been where you are now) who are keen to pass on their skills.
How?
We use a ten-stage programme that is monitored to ensure that all members have the opportunity to develop to the point where they deliver a Masterpiece speech with confidence. This programme has been proven to work over many years but is totally flexible and means that new members are able to move at a pace they find most suitable.
The programme will cover the following skills:
- Making a start
- Mean what you say
- Speech construction
- Use of gestures
- Use your voice
- Vocabulary and word pictures
- The use of notes
- Smile please!
- Audience rapport
- The Masterpiece
You will also have the opportunity to learn the skills involved in chairing a meeting and entering various competitions should you wish to do so.
Who?
Our members are young and old, at work, at home or retired, want to learn for business, for a particular social occasion, for an interview, for their other interests or to feel better and more confident about themselves. Many of our members continue to come year after year just for the enjoyment!
The Carlisle and District Speakers Club is part of the Association of Speakers Clubs, a mutual self-help organisation. We are people who come together to help each other gain in confidence and learn a valuable life skill while having some fun. Anyone who comes along to one of our Clubs and hopes to learn how to be an effective speaker and help others to be an effective speaker will be delighted with the outcome. That person will be given the opportunity, the support, the knowledge and the feedback in a relaxed friendly environment which is the most efficient way to become an effective speaker. It does not happen overnight but it does work.
