Public Speaking, Leadership
and Confidence
Since 1924, Toastmasters International has
helped millions of men and women become
more confident in front of an audience. A
network of clubs and their learn-by-doing
program are sure to help you become a better
speaker and leader. Why pay thousands of
dollars for a seminar when you can join a
Toastmasters club for a fraction of the cost
and have fun in the process?
More Than Words is a Toastmaster's club meeting in the Adelaide CBD and we welcome you to discover how easily you can learn the skills of pubic speaking and leadership and enjoy the confidence that comes with these skills.
What's in it for You?
Toastmasters will give you the skills and confidence you need
to effectively express yourself in any situation. Whether you
are a professional, student, stay-at-home parent or retiree,
Toastmasters is the most efficient, enjoyable and affordable
way of gaining great communication skills. By learning to
effectively formulate and express your ideas, you open
an entirely new world of possibilities. You’ll be more
persuasive and confident when giving presentations, and
you’ll improve your one-on-one dealings with others.
How Does it Work?
Don’t worry! Everyone in a Toastmasters club was once
at the level you are now. The environment is friendly and
supportive, and the self-paced program allows you to build
confidence with each speaking assignment. And you’ll
love the applause! Constructive evaluation is the heart
of the Toastmasters program. Each time you give a
prepared speech, an evaluator will point out strengths
and suggest improvements. At first you’ll be applauded
for your effort; later you’ll be applauded for your skill.
More than Words Toastmasters is especially skilled at helping stutterers. A unique part of our meetings: The Harrison Workshops. The workshops are part of the McGuire program for Stutterers and serve as mini ice breakers. We split into several groups of 3 or 4 people and each of us give a short 1 minutes speech using any one of the Harrison Workshops Themes such as Pausing, Projection, Emotion, Eye Contact etc. It eases guests into a speaking part as a small group such as this feels more like to talking to a group of people rather than giving a speech in front of an audience.

The Venue: The Queens Arms Hotel at 88 Wright St. Adelaide. This quaint old building is full of character. It's smack bang in the middle of Wright St., between King William St and Whitmore Sq., one street across from the Adelaide Markets. Meals can be ordered from the bar and consumed before or during the meetings. Happy hour coincides nicely with the start of our meetings, so it's not uncommon to see a drink or two on the tables. There's even outside seating for those balmy summer evenings so we can relax outside with a drink and meal before moving inside for the meeting.
Our club is just one of the more than
10,000 clubs located around the world. For membership meeting information,
please see our membership information page.
