Toastmasters builds public-speaking confidence through weekly in-person meetings and peer feedback. Make Your Point is a 25-day daily-practice Sprint for the writing, meetings, and everyday conversations that make up most of a working week. They overlap less than you'd expect — which is why some people use both.

Which one solves your actual problem
If your gap is specifically standing up in front of a room and speaking — nerves, structure, delivery, stage presence — Toastmasters' recurring live-speaking format is hard to substitute. If your gap is more everyday — emails that don't get answered, meetings you ramble in, feedback you avoid giving directly, listening on autopilot — that's the terrain Make Your Point is built for, five to ten minutes at a time.
They're not mutually exclusive. Toastmasters gives you a stage; Make Your Point gives you daily reps on what you say and write everywhere else.
