Benefits
The benefits are incredible for the PMP's taking advantage of the Toastmasters proven hands-on education method, and include the following:
PDU’s for PMP’s – Another way to gain PDU’s toward the required 60 PDUs over 3 years to keep your PMP current – Affordably!
Essentially Free education that you practice with other Toastmasters as your peers. The cost to the PMP interested in taking advantage of these opportunities is only for the Toastmasters curriculum manuals (approx. $10/manual) and membership dues which are minimal (approx. $30-35 for 6-month membership term). This translates to a very minimal cost per PDU in today's tough economy.
Toastmaster Certifications and Recognitions – Accreditation by an International Organization renowned for churning out great Leaders and Speakers.
Toastmasters Certifications add more letters to the alphabet soup after your name :-)
Networking opportunities – Multitude of Toastmasters events within several levels of the organizational structure allow PMP's to get involved: Chapter, Area, Division, District, or International Conventions; Speech Contests; Speech-A-Thons; TLI - Toastmasters Learning Institute; Workshops; Speech Craft; TV appearances; Key note speakers; etc...
Conversely, the PMI sponsored events allow Toastmasters to be involved in, and network with Project Management practitioners and certified PMP's.
Camaraderie – with other Toastmasters within the club, the area, the division, the district an even internationally.
There are over 260,000 Toastmaster members world-wide, with 2,500 chapters in 113 countries and you can attend each club's events as an active Toastmaster member.
Camaraderie is similar to the camaraderie you grow to feel with other PMI members and PMPs.
Cross Promotion Synergies – Participating Toastmasters chapters will promotethe Project Management discipline tied well to their leadership skills practice, and conversely the PMI Tampa Bay chapter will promote development of communication and leadership skills offered by Toastmasters - that's a WIN-WIN!!!
A great example of this: You ARE reading about Toastmasters on a PMI website!
