On Tuesday 16th, the Toastmasters Costa del Soul association held an open session at the La Cala Branch Office with the aim of introducing itself to the public. This is a group that helps people improve their public speaking and leadership skills through a simple approach: holding meetings around a specific theme, which serves as a guide for participants to debate and improvise on the topic. “These sessions help people overcome their stage fright when speaking in public and also manage the emotions that arise during a presentation. We work on all these aspects to build, above all, self-confidence”, explained the president of the association on the Costa del Sol, Claudia Villarreal.

Toastmasters is present in more than 150 countries worldwide, with over 250,000 clubs, five of them in the province of Malaga and the most recent on the Costa del Sol. “This club is also bilingual. Meetings are usually held separately in Spanish and English, although today, as an exception, both languages are being used”, said the councillor for Foreigners, Mario Bravo (PP), who attended the presentation. He also highlighted that “people who already knew about this club have come, as well as others living in the area who showed interest The Mijas Town Hall is taking steps to allow them to use a municipal space two or three hours a week to carry out this activity”.

 

For his part, the deputy mayor of La Cala, Juan Carlos Maldonado (PMP), who was present at the event, highlighted both the role of this association and the importance of effective communication in all areas of life. “From the Town Hall, we will hold meetings with this club to explore the possibility of bringing this initiative into the business sector, providing public speaking tools to companies, entrepreneurs, and those entering the labour market”, concluded the councillor.
