Testimonials

I joined SF Toastbusters 1 year ago to practice public speaking because I had to present in front of large groups at work and felt nervous. I've gotten much more than that; Toastbusters has provided opportunities to take on leadership roles as well as increased my confidence when speaking at work and in job interviews. Within the last year I interviewed for and received a promotion, and a few months later was recruited by a top company for my dream job; I don't think either would have happened without Toastbusters!        
- Jess (SF Toastbusters member)​
Shyness, social anxiety, lack of confidence, all of which could sum up who I was. Though I was getting better, I needed something more. I went to club after club trying to find the "right" one, but I ultimately had to make a choice. Without even visiting SF Toastbusters yet, I decided they would be the one. I've been to over five other clubs and none of them compared to the warm, welcoming, and safe feeling I felt at SF Toastbusters. I've greatly increased my confidence and public speaking abilities thanks to SF Toastbusters.
