DKTM is responsible for as much of my professional development as university was, maybe more! I am incredibly grateful for what this club has done for my life.

Just looking at this goofy picture reminds me how much I’ve grown here. I was never this dramatic on stage and still wouldn’t be an engaging speaker if not for DKTM!

I didn't know how much I would enjoy meeting with people who all want to improve their speaking skills. We’ve all felt the nerves but knowing there’s such a great group backing me up has been so rewarding!

Our Meetings

Each week we meet for an action-packed hour of speaking with over a dozen different roles encompassing every type of communication and leadership practice.

 

speeches

Each meeting, a handful of members present a speech on a topic of their choice to practice their speaking skills. We’ve heard speeches on every topic imaginable, and always seem to learn something new!

Table topics

The most unique part of our meetings. Participants get up on stage and give off-the-cuff answers to questions posed by the group! Nerve-wracking, yes. But exhilarating as well! Great practice for any real-life situation.

Evaluations

One of our goals is to “create a supportive and positive environment”, and evaluations are no exception. Pretty much every role gets evaluated during the meeting, including the evaluators themselves!

Leadership

Behind the scenes is a team of leaders who ensure each meeting is enjoyable and educational. They aren’t paid executives, just regular members who want to learn about leadership. And our club is the best place practice those skills!
