Where Stories Are Sharpened and Speakers Grow
What happens when experienced Toastmasters come together with a shared focus on storytelling, feedback and growth?
At a recent Excalibur Online Global Speakers meeting, members explored how impactful stories are often revealed by cutting back, not adding more. The session encouraged speakers to uncover the heart of their message, allowing the story to land with greater clarity and emotional impact.
The learning didn’t stop at the speech. High-quality evaluations played a central role, helping speakers recognize where their stories connected most strongly and how simplicity can amplify meaning. This emphasis on thoughtful feedback is a defining feature of the club’s culture.
Excalibur Online Global Speakers is a pre-charter advanced club supported by Excalibur Speakers, offering a space for members who want to deepen their craft. While meetings continue in person in Central London, the online format brings together Toastmasters from across the UK and beyond, creating a truly global learning environment.
For members who have completed at least two Pathway levels or the Competent Communicator award, the club offers an opportunity to refine storytelling, receive high-caliber evaluations and grow alongside like-minded speakers.
