Hear from our members and guests about their experiences with Sustainable Speakers.

I've joined this club because it is absolutely vital to spread the climate crisis message as widely as possible.
People need to understand, to learn why things must change and to realize that we can only avoid major disasters if we and governments act immediately.
A number of sustainability professionals have joined this group.
Sustainable Speakers will help us consolidate our speaking skills and take the message to an even wider audience.

Since joining the club I discovered that it's full of people who are passionate about the planet and sustainability.
I can't wait to continue my journey and using any information obtained to pass onto those in my circle of influence.
The meetings have been extremely well run and I feel inspired after each meeting which is the beauty of Toastmasters.

This club is special because it brings together changemakers who are passionate about creating a healthy planet that we and our descendants can continue to enjoy.
Comprised of an international community of experienced Toastmasters, Guinness World Record holders, and even TED speakers, I have seen this club shine in its speaking and discussions.

In my opinion, we all need support.
We all have a unique skillset and can contribute if we put our minds to it.
We need to have clear communication to get the sustainability message out that something needs to be done to save us and soon.
That is what the club is for, and I hope a lot more.
Hope you come along for the journey.

Dr. Shirley Gallagher · Cork, Ireland · April 2023

As a researcher in the field of sustainability, I am very interested in finding out the financial impact of sustainability on individuals, organizations, and the community.
With this motive, I joined Sustainable Speakers to learn from the different members and exchange information on different topics of sustainability.
Having attended 2 of the club's meetings, my experience thus far has been positive, and I strongly believe that with the diversity of members, my learning will continue in this club.
I am looking forward to more meetings with exciting themes and discussions on relevant topics that the world needs to know!

Thanks to the Speechcraft initiative / am a step nearer my purpose.
Speechcraft initiative is a very good way to know people that are sharing values and/or opinions about a topic, in this case, Sustainability.
So, one can get to know alike people, but are part of something bigger, an alike-thought community.

Ana Sampaio – Area Director · London · October 2025

It is very interesting and certainly something I would like to
join. I think for me it is something completely out of my comfort zone, but I know that is where I will find growth.
Speaking/ evaluation skills are certainly something I want to improve as well so thank you for letting me join as guest to get a feel of
it.

Shelly · London · June 2025

One of the great things I enjoyed is the 'after eight' special where members/guests stay online and have a chat, ask questions, and just creates an atmosphere of a community, even though it's online, there is a strong mentorship programme and the VPE is very supportive and encourages
others to step into their potential.
