Since 1942, The Olympic Club has been gathering weekly in downtown Seattle to discuss current issues and help members develop effective public speaking skills in a supportive and structured environment. Modeled after Toastmasters, the club focuses on building confidence in communication by providing opportunities to practice prepared spe, impromptu speaking, and constructive feedback. Members work on refining their delivery, clarity, and engagement, ensuring they can confidently address an audience in both professional and personal settings.

One of the key aspects of The Olympic Club is its emphasis on time management and structured presentations. Each speech follows a set time limit, encouraging speakers to be concise, organized, and impactful. Additionally, the club fosters the ability to think quickly and respond effectively to extemporaneous topics, a skill that proves invaluable in professional meetings, networking events, and high-pressure discussions. Through regular practice and peer evaluations, members gain practical experience in handling real-world speaking situations with poise.
