Toastmasters Open House at the Biotechnology Center

Toastmasters Open House at the Biotechnology Center is a community event in Durham designed to help attendees build confidence in public speaking. Guest speaker Alicia Hughes will deliver a talk titled "The Power of One Decision" to help motivate attendees. Visitors can also watch a demonstration of impromptu speaking, participate in the exercises to win prizes, and ask questions during a post-event social. To attend, you need to register in advance so the organizers can plan for the headcount. The event begins promptly at 4:30 PM, and there will be snacks provided afterward during the networking portion of the evening. This event makes a productive addition to your weekly schedule if you want to improve your communication skills for career growth or community leadership. It offers a low-pressure environment to practice speaking, meet supportive local professionals, and gather practical tips for overcoming stage fright.
