I joined Rostrum to learn how to chair a meeting. Since that time I have been President and/or Chairman of several organisations and find I have the confidence to lead those groups. I have my skills by constant practice at Rostrum Breakfast Club 42. Like many other professionals I have to address business meetings regularly. Rostrum Club 42 not only gives me practice in standing up and speaking, but also at the end of the meeting I get feedback from an independent source on how I have performed and how I could improve that performance, something one does not get in the work situation.

Phil used to be a teacher and so used Rostrum to help him speak more effectively at assemblies and staff meetings. He's moved on to greener pastures now but still derives a lot of enjoyment from Rostrum and finds it helps him with his confidence in social gatherings. He has taken on the role of Program Director within Club 42 on several occasions.

 

 

Cathy joined Rostrum to gain some much needed confidence in public speaking and has found the experience and learning to be far beyond the professional realm. Rostrum has also greatly improved her social skills and confidence.

Cathy is the Finance Manager for a property developing firm in West Perth and still finds the benefits of a weekly Rostrum meeting worth the drive back to West Perth after the meetings
