"All the great speakers were bad speakers at first." — Ralph W. Emerson

Meet our team

Prague Speakers Toastmasters Club was established in 2005 as the 1st Toastmasters Club in Prague. Since then our club is representing an elite organization which trains its members in both communication and leadership skills.

Jana Benetinová

President

Hi, my name is Jana. I am in Toastmasters because I want to inspire people and have many stories to share.
I like to describe myself as philosopher, because I am interested in life and everything that is around me.

Hana Marie Masopustová

VPE, Treasurer

I am a risk-taker and a people person. Toastmaster has given me more self-confidence. It has helped me develop persuasion and negotiation skills that have been very useful in my professional career. Among my passions besides traveling and boxing, I enjoy learning languages, I´m fluent in English and Spanish, currently learning Italian for passion and Czech because I like a good challenge.

Roxana Velasco

VPPR

I like life full of events and people. Through Toastmasters my life has become richer and full of people who consider challenges and development integral parts of their lives. For me Toastmasters is a great opportunity to develop my communication and leadership skills. I use them to great effect for my clients. Thanks to them they are able to create new lives and carriers. A benefit of a benefit. As simple as this.

Peter Ulc

VPM

Peter joined Prague Speakers in 2018 when he urgently needed to prepare for an investor pitch and only had two weeks to do it (thanks to Toastmasters, it went well). Peter is a Dutch-American, Project Manager by trait, who spends much of his time outdoors, climbing, biking, and hiking, and, depending on where the better weather is, travels frequently between Denver, Colorado and Prague.

Bruno Braga

Secretary

My name is Bruno Braga and I am an expat from Portugal. I  have several areas of interest including: cybersecurity(my job), fitness, social dynamics, psychology, investment and self-improvement in general.

I have joined Toastmasters with the objective of becoming more proficient with improvisation and public speaking. While I spend most of my time cultivating hard skills, I have learned that if you master communication you will not only go a long way but you will also make your life much easier.
