RESTRICTED - THOSE WHO SPEAK PROFESSIONALLY, OR ASPIRE TO, INCLUDING SPEAKERS, TRAINERS, AUTHORS AND CONSULTANTS. As a professional speaker have you ever wished you had a forum where you could test your new material before your important speaking engagement? A place where the material would be critiqued by professional speakers and trainers like yourself? Also very important is ample time to properly develop your ideas in as much as 40 minute segments, which you can further rework and resubmit for critique! Well, such a place exists! Windy City Professional Speakers Toastmasters Club has been helping professional speakers for over 10 years. We meet at the Hyatt Oakbrook Hotel the 2nd Sunday of every month, 6-9 p.m. Come visit us and see how we can help you! An added benefit is our Speaking Skills Workshops.
