Peter Coors CEO – Coors Brewing Company
“As my career grew with the company, I needed to develop my communication skills more and more . . . I’ve learned a great deal about speaking and listening and now realize the importance of the overall program. For me, it took getting into a formal organization – such as Toastmasters – to understand what total communication is all about.”
Debbi Fields Founder – Mrs. Fields Cookies
“I’d never thought of myself as a great communicator, and that’s one of the reasons I got involved in [Toastmasters]. The idea of getting in front of a group, not as Mrs. Fields but really as Debbi, made my knees shake, and I’d get all dry-mouthed. But the Toastmasters group understood. Here’s a place where you can learn, grow, develop – and where other people are doing and feeling the same thing.”
Linda Lingle Governor of Hawaii
“Toastmasters is the best and least expensive personal improvement class you can go to. Anybody who begins and sticks with it for any length of time ends up a better speaker. As a result, they build confidence, and are able
to do their jobs better.”
