Toastmasters is an educational club that provides a way to practice and hone communication and leadership skills. Most Toastmasters meetings are comprised of approximately 10-20 people. Participants practice and learn skills by filling a meeting role, ranging from giving a prepared a speech or an impromptu, one to serve as timer, evaluator or grammarian. Each speech and meeting is critiqued by a member in a positive manner, focusing on what was done right and what could be improved. Good communicators tend to be good leaders. Some well-known Toastmasters alumni include: Peter Coors of Coors Brewing Company Debbi Fields, founder of Mrs. Fields Cookies Tom Peters, management expert and author Linda Lingle, Governor of Hawaii
