Jackie M at Beckenham Speakers Clubs' PowerPoint evening
 | On Thursday 20th May 2010, members from Beckenham Speakers Club participated in the biannual PowerPoint event at the club.
Jackie M is seen presenting a fascinating account of how we can all build greater health by adding a collection of natural flowers to our diet. Jackie who has only been a member of the club for 6 weeks is already making enormous strides towards becoming an incredibly gifted communicator.

Beckenham Speakers Club in its short history has delivered demonstrable benefits to the residents of Beckenham, with some of the club's members already having spoken at the House of Commons, represented the club at Area and District, and National Finals, as well as having been guest speaker at the National Conference in Hammersmith, London in April 2007.
The benefits of speaking well in public are increased self-confidence in social
situations, interviews and greater promotional prospects at work.
Have fun and learn a skill that will last a life time. A speakers club provides a supportive environment for the novice speaker to develop in time, having delivered several speeches and having received instructive feedback on how to improve. At Beckenham Speakers Club, we often run voice coaching and vocal impact sessions as well as handling the fear of public speaking workshops.
Our membership mostly consists of students, trainers, accountants, IT analysts, an economist, a few senior executives, and a few people who have recently retired. We also have a wide age range in the membership and therefore many diverse viewpoints. It doesn't matter what walk of life you are in, you are very welcome at Beckenham Speakers Club.
