Do you want to feel more confident when speaking before a group? Do you want to take your delivery from so-so to stimulating? Do you want to reap the invaluable benefits that effective public speaking can bring to your career and personal life? Dupont Speaks is a culturally, professionally diverse Toastmasters club that meets noon to 1pm the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month at One Dupont Circle to "just do it" -- practice public speaking, evaluation, and meeting facilitation techniques. Our members include public speaking award winners as well as first-time public speakers. Join us at our next meeting. We're a lunchtime club so feel free to bring your lunch.
