Simple but effective

Each club meeting lasts approximately 2 hours and follows a fixed agenda – according to the Toastmasters structure. Each club has its own agenda and own rules, but the clubs can be in Iceland, English or mixed.

Each meeting consist of 3 main parts:

Prepared speeches

A prepared speech is a speech that you have planned and prepared in advance. There are usually 4 prepared speeches that last about 5-7 minutes at each club meeting..

Speech evaluations

An evaluation of a prepared speech is given directly by another Toastmaster. During the evaluation, the speaker receives valuable and instructive feedback to further improve themselves and their speech. This evaluation takes approximately 2-3 minutes.

Impromptu speeches

Each meeting Toastmasters (and usually guests on a voluntary basis) are invited to improvise for approximately 2 minutes on topics determined by a Table Topics Master/ improv leader. .
