How Did Short & Sweet Toastmasters Club Start?

Short & Sweet was born during the COVID-19 pandemic. When lockdowns moved Toastmasters meetings fully online, many clubs continued running two to three hour sessions. Over time, participants began to feel the effects of Zoom fatigue.

On 17 October 2021, Short & Sweet Toastmasters Club was established with a fresh idea: a one-hour meeting format that keeps all the essentials of a Toastmasters session (prepared speeches, table topics, and speech evaluations) while keeping members focused and energised.

Today, the club runs a monthly two-hour hybrid meeting on the fourth Sunday, alongside on-demand one-hour sessions that members can request anytime they need to practise.
