“For me as a Toastmaster, my goal has been to be a better communicator and speaker, and attending Stomp-the-Prompt each month, has given me not only more practice time, but the chance to meet other TM’s from other clubs. In addition, there is a class or workshop that occurs during the first hour that is designed around enhancing our skills even further. The last session we had a presenter discuss the importance of story-telling and how to make our speeches more effective and compelling for our audiences. These session are a must for anyone who is ready to take their skills to the next level.” – John Davis, Artfully Speaking; Trusty Talkers; S-Peak Leaders
“Stomp-the-prompt is more than off-the-cuff speaking, or Table-Topics in Toastmasters terminology. It is a fun and informative evening with other speakers and guests. It starts with a great education session that any current or future Toastmaster can learn a lot, and do not often see happening. The fun speeches mixed with the off-the-cuff impromptu questions are always a great time. I really enjoy it! Guests who are not interested or not sure about public speaking skills will still have a great time. Come join in, and bring friends!” – Keith Horowitz, Trusty Talkers; Top Class; S-Peak Leaders
