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 public speaking and leadership and enjoy the confidence that comes with these skills.

Come along to More Than Words as our guest (prospective member). It really is the only way to discover Toastmasters. We promise you won't regret it!
The Venue and meeting times: The Brunswick Hotel at 207 Gilbert St. Adelaide. This quaint old building is full of character. It's smack bang in the middle of Gilbert St., between King William St and West Terrace.
Meetings commence at 7pm on the first and third Monday of each month.
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.
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.
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.
