An international, English-speaking club in Villach where people practise public speaking and leadership together. The first step can be as simple as coming to listen.
Meet some of the people who helped bring Toastmasters to Villach. Their words reflect the club’s early days, not its current officer positions.
Andrea Appe
“I discovered Toastmasters during a job-related stay in Munich last year. It was so impressive to watch members developing profound speaking and presentation skills in a short period of time that I decided to bring this concept to Villach.”
Chris Sollberger
“I'm a Toastmaster since 1999 and will support the new club as sponsor and mentor. I have been a member of several clubs in Switzerland. Since moving to Carinthia a few years ago I want to help others in the area enjoy the Toastmasters experience.”
Brigitte Sollberger
“I've been a member of Toastmasters for several years in Switzerland, I want to help others to learn to speak, learn to listen and enjoy the company. Toastmasters is a protected space, where you learn to speak in front of people without fear.”
Olivia Pfeiler
“For me, Toastmaster is a great chance to train my communication skills together with a group of interested people. I'm a Toastmasters newbie, but I really like the idea, therefore I'm happy to support the foundation of a club in Villach.”
Thomas Gebhard
“I got in touch with Toastmasters three years ago during a long term delegation in Penang, Malaysia. During that time Toastmasters became part of my life with respect to many aspects.”
Sylvicley Figueira da Silva
“The idea to effectively improve my presentation and leadership skills while helping others to improve theirs is wonderful. I got to know the existence of Toastmaster recently and I am looking forward to helping to establish the Club in Villach.”
Christoph Pfeiler
“I've never been to a Toastmasters meeting before but I really like the concept to improve speaking skills within a supportive learn-by-doing environment. I'm looking forward to helping bring the Toastmasters approach to Carinthia.”
