Toastmasters is a friendly place to build confidence in speaking and leadership, at your own pace, with people cheering you on. Visiting is always free, and you won't have to speak.
Walk in (or log on), find a seat, and watch. There's no obligation and no cost to visit a meeting.
Someone will greet you, introduce you around, and explain how the hour runs.
Members give brief prepared and impromptu talks, then offer kind, specific feedback.
