Non-profit group Toastmasters is out with some tips to help make a memorable toast over the holidays.
The number one thing: be yourself and speak from the heart.
That could mean sharing a personal anecdote or story.
Other tips: be brief, and if you’re toasting a guest of honour, be sure to focus on that person and not yourself.
Be prepared, practice the toast in advance, use tasteful humour, and don’t drink alcohol until after the toast.
