Power Talk Toastmasters started life as the a company toastmaster club for the ESB – Ireland’s Electricity Supply Company (hence the name!). When its work at the ESB was finished, Power Talk transformed into an open club with an aim to serve as an Advanced club for experienced toastmasters. Our members are all dual members – being a member of their “home” club and Power Talk. We aim to provide an Advanced Environment for experienced toastmasters to challenge themselves and continue to develop and improve. If you feel you are treading water and want a challenging and supportive club to help make that next step up in your public speaking, then Power Talk Toastmasters is for you.
