What Makes Italo Voices' Toastmasters Unique?
Let's distinguish between aspects that are commonly offered by most Toastmasters clubs and those that are unique to Italo Voices' Toastmasters:
All Good Toastmasters Clubs
International networking:
Toastmasters International itself is a global organisation, and therefore, international networking is a shared benefit across all clubs.
Personalized learning tracks:
While the degree of personalisation may vary, the concept of tailored learning tracks based on individual goals is a common feature in Toastmasters.
Professional development:
Enhancing professional skills and contributing to personal development is a fundamental aspect of Toastmasters.
Inclusive community:
Toastmasters’ clubs, by nature, promote inclusivity and provide a supportive environment for individuals of diverse backgrounds.
Constructive feedback:
In all Toastmasters’ clubs, members receive constructive feedback on their speeches and presentations. This valuable input is provided in a positive and supportive manner, helping individuals identify strengths and areas for improvement.
Structured educational program:
Toastmasters International provides a structured educational program that guides members through a series of speech projects and leadership roles. This framework ensures a systematic and progressive approach to skill development in communication and leadership.
Unique to Italo Voices' Toastmasters
Bilingual mastery:
Italo Voices' Toastmasters specifically focuses on a bilingual (Italian and English) environment, offering members the chance to enhance their communication skills in these two languages.
Real-life presentation opportunities:
While real-life presentation opportunities are a standard practice in advanced Toastmasters’ clubs, Italo Voices' Toastmasters uniquely emphasizes presenting in real-life venues to give members a genuine experience of what it is like to present in the real world.
Cultural exploration:
Italo Voices' Toastmasters uniquely offers a dedicated 45-minute Italian language and culture lesson at the end of each workshop, providing an in-depth exploration of Italian heritage.
Practical language application:
The combination of language lessons, cultural immersion, and real-life presentation opportunities offers a practical and immersive language learning experience that is unique to Italo Toastmasters.
Camaraderie and friendship:
While camaraderie is a common aspect in Toastmasters, the emphasis on creating lasting friendships within a community that shares a specific passion for language and culture is a unique feature of Italo Voices' Toastmasters.
Exclusive travel opportunities:
Italo Voices' Toastmasters goes beyond standard club activities by offering exclusive travel opportunities, allowing members to explore Italy and practice their language skills in an authentic setting.
In summary, while Italo Voices' Toastmasters incorporates elements commonly found in most Toastmasters clubs, its unique offerings lie in the dedicated focus on Italian culture, practical language application, community camaraderie, and exclusive travel opportunities for its members.
