Public speaking course

Ettalong Beach Toastmasters Club will hold a public speaking course this month.

The speechcraft course will taught by club member Greg Hoffman.

"Greg Hoffman joined the Ettalong Beach Toastmasters Club 10 years ago," said club president Ms Jan Cummings said.

"Although Greg didn't have any problem in speaking with people, he felt he needed to fine tune his speaking skills for presentations at work.

"Even though Greg is now a trained speaker, he remains in Toastmasters.

"If you ask him, he'll tell you it's because of the ongoing training and opportunities to present at each meeting.

"Greg enjoys presenting humourous speeches but can also deliver serious topics as well.

"He'll also tell you about the camaraderie between the members and clubs here on the Central Coast.

"Toastmasters is an international non-profit organization and has helped many people take their first confident steps towards a better future.

"Over the last few years, Greg has been approached by several organizations to MC music events and, just recently, he was the main presenter at the Woy Woy Australia Day Festival."

Ms Cummings said the speechcraft course could help nervous people overcome their fear of speaking in front of groups.

The course will begin on Monday, February 19.

For more information about the course, please call Greg on 0413 993 710 or the club on 4341 6842.
