Leadership cannot be learned in a day. It takes practice. In Toastmasters International members build leadership skills by organizing and conducting meetings and motivating others to help them. Club leadership roles and a leadership development program also offer opportunities to learn and practice.

Just as Toastmasters members learn to speak simply by speaking, they learn leadership by leading.
