Toastmasters International - Edmonton & Area

If you are looking for a great book for ideas and inspiration for improving your speaking skills check out John C. Maxwell's new book Everyone Communicates Few Connect: What the most effective people do differently!

He discusses how he grew from a mediocre preacher to a powerful communicator.  The book is full of commonsense ideas, presented in a fresh new way and tips for honing your ability to connect with people in individual, group and formal speaking situations.

This book is a great refresher for experienced speakers and a goldmine of practical information for the novice speaker/communicator.
