Toastmasters Speech #6


Creating the Best Toastmasters Experience
 

What is the purpose of a Toastmasters club?

·       To create an environment in which you can acquire and practice communication and leadership skills

·       To offer a path to express your passions and, ultimately, who you are
 

How can we help create an environment that supports these goals?

·       Provide mutual support for each other

·       Maintain regular attendance and involvement in meetings

·       Volunteer for weekly roles

·       Take responsibility for advancing in the CC & CL workbooks

·       Promote Toastmasters through PR and word-of-mouth

·       Greet and welcome each other – both current and new members

·       Encourage each other to participate in meetings

·       Encourage each other complete educational goals

·       Stay informed about developments in our club and Toastmasters

·       Develop and maintain a formal mentorship program

·       Create a formal intention, or mission statement, for our club

Wow, that's a boatload of info for a 5-7 minute talk. If I was to add one more reason to be in Toastmasters...it would be to "Make More Money." After all, if you do improve your communication and presentation skills, you're gonna make more money with the promotion you get or the new business that comes your way be being a better speaker and leader. Too often this simple and yet important benefit is often overlooked at my Aurora Colorado Toastmasters club too.
