Talk-Masters gave me a warm, empowering environment that taught me to think on my feet, organise my thoughts and speak with impact. For someone who grew up on the back bench, it was a true transformation.
Edwin SunnyImmediate Past President Today, I may still feel nervous, and I may still make mistakes, but I no longer see them as reasons to stop speaking.
Noufal AboobackerSergeant at Arms There was something almost enigmatic about the vibe of Talk-Masters: the energy, the warmth and, most importantly, the people.
Prathiba LeoTEDx speaker and communication coach I have moved from feeling intimidated when speaking to senior people to expressing my thoughts more confidently in front of groups, colleagues, and audiences.
Nabeel BavaTreasurer I joined Toastmasters to find my voice. Along the way, I discovered my purpose: helping others find theirs.

Will I be called on to speak?
Only with your consent: we always ask before calling on a guest. Speakers here don't shy away from an opportunity, and a short impromptu topic is a great first one to take.
When should I arrive, and where do I go?
Arrive from 10:15; we start at 10:30 and finish at 12:30. We meet in a room inside Hor Al Anz Public Library, Dubai.
Is there parking, and is food included?
Parking is free on Sundays. Breakfast is included, with a 15-minute break to eat and meet everyone.
Who can join?
Everyone. Our members come from every age group, gender and background: students, professionals, parents, career changers and retirees.
Does it cost anything to visit?
Visiting as a guest is free. Membership dues are confirmed by the club; ask us at any meeting.
What happens at a meeting?
Two structured hours on a Sunday morning: prepared speeches, impromptu Table Topics and supportive evaluations, all kept on time by a timer with green, amber and red lights.
I'm a complete beginner. Is that okay?
That's exactly who Toastmasters is for. Everyone starts somewhere, and you'll progress at your own pace with a mentor.
