Public Speaking and Leadership Development in Portsmouth

Our members meet regularly in Portsmouth to engage in public speaking practice and leadership development following the proven Toastmasters "Pathways" training route. We value collaboration and creating a welcoming, supportive and fun environment for everyone to push themselves to succeed towards their ambitions and overcome their fears. Come join us and build a better future.

Personal Development

At the core of what we do is personal development. You have the power to improve your life through intentional and deliberate effort. We will support you to do that.

Communication and Public Speaking

The ability to address a crowd is one of the most powerful skills there is. To become a leader you must learn public speaking.

Leadership

Great achievements of human endeavour can be achieved with great teams. Without accomplished leadership there are no great teams. We need you to lead us to greatness.

We are a local chapter of Toastmasters International.


Since 1924, Toastmasters has been inspiring people to confidently communicate through regular practice and evaluation in fun and supportive clubs around the globe. Join the worldwide community!

Our leadership team are fully committed to creating a positive, growth-oriented space for everyone. In return, for our members to progress we require them to stay engaged, attend meetings regularly, take up speaking roles and volunteer for other roles. It is everyone's involvement that will help the club continue to grow, constantly improve it's quality and make it special. The club is built on the efforts of the officers and members and their incentive comes from the self-development they experience as a member.

"Spinnaker Speakers has helped me become a more confident speaker in meetings, speeches and being happier to speak my mind in everyday settings. As a naturally reserved person it's honestly been great, I would recommend coming down and giving a few sessions a go, you won't regret it!"
