What is the PREP Method? A simple structure for improving impromptu speaking

YOU CAN ALSO JOIN US ONLINE VIA ZOOM!

Have you ever been asked to "say a few words" and felt your heart start racing? Or rambled through an answer, hoping you'd eventually land on a point? Impromptu speaking doesn't have to be scary, especially when you have a plan.

At this Toastmasters meeting, we're diving into PREP, a proven four-step framework that helps you organize your thoughts quickly and speak with confidence, even with no time to prepare:

P – Point: Lead with your main idea so your listener knows exactly where you stand.
R – Reason: Explain why you hold that view.
E – Example: Support it with a story, fact, or real-life experience.
P – Point: Restate your main idea to finish strong and leave a lasting impression.

PREP works anywhere you need to think on your feet: answering a question from your boss, speaking up in a meeting, handling an interview, or making small talk at a networking event.

What to expect:
We'll break down PREP and show it in action, then you'll get a chance to practice it during Table Topics, our impromptu speaking segment, in a warm and encouraging environment. You'll also enjoy prepared speeches from members and helpful feedback from our evaluators.

Who should come:
Anyone who wants to speak more clearly and confidently! Guests are always welcome, and no experience is needed. Come to observe, or step up and give it a try. There's never any pressure to speak.
