Question 1

What happens during a toastmasters meeting?

Accepted Answer

A typical toastmasters meeting is structured in a way so that members and even guests can have an opportunity to have a speaking role. The meeting is divided into three parts: the first part is where members deliver speeches they have prepared; the second part is where members and guests can participate in Table Topics which is where they can practice their impromptu speaking skills; and the third part is the evaluation session where prepared speakers are given feedback and the entire meeting is also evaluated.
