À propos du Club Toastmasters Quest
Depuis 1984, le club Toastmasters Quest permet aux résidents de la région de Québec de développer la confiance nécessaire pour parler en public en utilisant la langue anglaise . Nous faisons partie de la grande tradition instaurée par le Dr Ralph Smedley en octobre 1924, lorsqu'il convoqua un groupe au sous-sol du YMCA de Santa Ana (Californie), dans le but de fournir "de la formation et de la pratique dans l'art de parler en public, de présider aux réunions et pour promouvoir l'esprit social entre les membres." Ce premier groupe prit le nom "Toastmasters", et nous sommes un des clubs locaux qui suivent cette tradition.
Nous tenons nos activités en anglais, mais il existe d'autres clubs Toastmasters à Québec fonctionnent en français .
Curieux? Venez nous voir, cela nous ferait plaisir de vous recevoir!
About Quest Toastmasters Club
Since 1984, Quest Toastmasters Club has provided a home where the residents of Québec City can develop confidence to speak in public in the English language. We are part of the grand tradition started by Dr. Ralph C. Smedley in October 1924, when he assembled a group to meet in the basement of the YMCA in Santa Ana, California, U.S.A., forming a club “to afford practice and training in the art of public speaking and in presiding over meetings, and to promote sociability and good fellowship among its members.” The group took the name “Toastmasters.” We are a local chapter of Toastmasters International.
Today, Toastmasters International is a non-profit organization which gives its members the opportunity to develop and improve their public speaking abilities through local club meetings, training seminars and speech contests. Toastmasters International includes more than 199,000 men and women in more than 9,300 clubs in more than 70 countries.
Who?
Experienced professionals and beginning speakers alike can benefit from our practical, face-to-face learning program. Whether you're speaking to the board of directors, your customers, your co-workers or your kids, Toastmasters can help you do it better. You'll learn and practice in a friendly, comfortable environment with people who are there for the same reason you are—to become better communicators.
How?
At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive environment. A typical Toastmasters club is made up of 20 to 30 people who meet one morning a week for about ninety minutes. Each meeting gives everyone an opportunity to practice conducting meetings, giving impromptu speeches, presenting prepared speeches, and offering constructive evaluation.
Where?
Quest Toastmasters meets at Mikes Restaurant, 2960 boulevard Laurier, in Québec City. (Click here for directions)
When?
We meet every Friday morning from September to June, starting at 6:55 am and finishing at 8:30am. Breakfast is served!
Curious? The best way to find out what Toastmasters is all about, is to experience it yourself! Come by one of our meetings, it will be our pleasure to welcome you!
