We meet once every two weeks at our designated location in Houston Texas on Thursday evenings from 7 pm-9 pm. Meetings usually consist of several speeches followed by evaluations from expert evaluators as well as open discussion about improving communication skills.

There is no age restriction for joining our club; we welcome people of all ages who are interested in developing their communication and leadership skills.

The cost of membership varies based on whether you’re looking for standard or additional membership services (premium). The standard membership fee is $45 USD per 6 months period plus $10 USD joining fee; while there is no additional fee for premium membership but it offers access special event invitations & exclusive resources not available with standard membership.

Absolutely! We love having guests come observe what we do at our meetings so they can see if this type of program could be beneficial for them or someone they know. Guests are encouraged to participate in activities but are not required nor mandatory given that they may be attending just out of curiosity or interest.

During each meeting we focus different topics related to public speaking such as storytelling techniques, body language & gestures, vocal variety & fluency when delivering speeches, using visual aids effectively etcetera.
