About Us
The First Advanced Toastmasters Club in Tamil Nadu
Where are you in your leadership growth trajectory at work?
Have you reached a certain level and are you worried that complacency will set in?
Why don’t you challenge yourself and discover new avenues to take a path less traveled?
Introducing Meraki, the first advanced Toastmasters club in Tamilnadu!
Meraki is a Greek word that means “doing something with passion, with absolute devotion, and with undivided attention”.
Like you, we meraklis were at crossroads before discovering a new pathway to further sharpen our communication skills to be able to continue our next phase of transformational leadership journey.
At Meraki, we are constantly finding new ways to articulate our thoughts and reinvent ourselves. At every step, we put each other through a challenge that we have otherwise been avoiding. We view every role and speech from a creative angle and perform it like never before.
Each speech is a contest speech; thoroughly prepared, mentored and rehearsed. Speech evaluations are direct and honest not only from the assigned evaluators but also from other experts in the room. Each role too gets evaluated.
We will be one of the few early adaptors of the new Pathways program designed by TMI. This approach will give each member of
Meraki a platform to propel towards excellence. We are also the first breakfast club in Tamilnadu. Yes, you read that right! We meraklis meet between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. on the second, fourth and fifth Saturday of the month to learn, lead, share, laugh and of course eat.
The club meets at Utopia World, No. 5/2, Utopia World, 1 St Street, Abhiramapuram
Chennai - 600 018, Tamilnadu, India.
The meeting will be followed by breakfast.
Join Meraki. Revisit. Reinvent. Rejoice.

TOASTMASTERS INTERNATIONAL
TOASTMASTERS INTERNATIONAL
Toastmasters International is a world leader in communication and leadership development. Our organization has more than 352,000 memberships. Members improve their speaking and leadership skills by attending one of the 16,400 clubs in 141 countries that make up our global network of meeting locations.
The world needs leaders. Leaders head families, coach teams, run businesses and mentor others. These leaders must not only accomplish, they must communicate. By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge from the Toastmasters program. Every Toastmasters journey begins with a single speech. During their journey, they learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedback—and accept it. Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership.
Core Values:
Integrity | Respect | Service | Excellence
Mission:
We empower individuals to become more effective communicators and leaders.
Meraki's USP!!
