Buffalo, NY (Vocus/PRWEB ) August 26, 2009 -- Approximately 14.5 million Americans are currently unemployed today, with a national unemployment rate of 9.4% according to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Employed and unemployed Americans alike face a myriad of employment, financial, social and health related issues and concerns in today's economy - a situation that calls for developing new abilities and sharpening existing skills.
Survey after survey shows that presentation skills are critical to success in the workplace. Equally important are the skills and confidence to give constructive feedback to a peer, employee or friend.
Toastmasters International offers consumers a way to increase their interpersonal skills; sharpen leadership and communication skills; gain other valuable transferrable skills that are useful in today's competitive job market.

Surveys show that most people would rather die than talk in front of a live audience. Three out of every four individuals suffer from speech anxiety - but that doesn't have to be!

Come to our Friday Night Improv Event and our Saturday Evening Humorous Speech Contest to get a look at the Lighter Side of Public Speaking!
