Testimonials
New members are quickly encouraged to take on roles, receive feedback, and participate in Table Topics, which helps them gain confidence early on. The club also appears to have a mentoring culture, where experienced members
provide guidance.
It is very interesting and certainly something I would like to
join. I think for me it is something completely out of my comfort zone, but I know that is where I will find growth.
Speaking/ evaluation skills are certainly something I want to improve as well so thank you for letting me join as guest to get a feel of
it.
One of the great things I enjoyed is the 'after eight' special where members/guests stay online and have a chat, ask questions, and just creates an atmosphere of a community, even though it's online, there is a strong mentorship programme and the VPE is very supportive and encourages
others to step into their potential.
