“For me being a Toastmaster means learning to face challenges while fun along the way. What I value the most is connecting with such a diverse, driven group of people, all united by a shared desire to learn and improve. The energy and motivation in this club is truly fulfilling and I am honoured and excited to work and steer the club committee for the upcoming year!”

"I joined this club initially with the expectation to tame the fear of public speaking. Not long after joining, I organically built the sense of leadership that I thought I’ve never had. It is both empowering and humbling to be in a room with people with a passion for self-development."

"I’m an introvert. Any spotlights would unnerve me. I joined the club to conquer the fear of public speaking since the club gave me a safe environment. What I didn’t expect is that the journey also helps me build up confidence and discover my strengths, which is absolutely invaluable experience!"

"When I wanted to join an English-speaking Toastmasters club in Amsterdam, I visited a couple of them before Taste & Toastmasters. It was when I experienced the international, friendly and down-to-earth atmosphere at this club that I knew this was it. Within a few months, I became the Treasurer of the club, which allowed me to develop new skills, to help the club improve and make great friends with other members. If you put in the effort, you will get a return on your investments!"
