A Successful Toastmasters’ club

facebooktwittergoogle_plusredditpinterestlinkedin

If we are going to have a successful club we have to do several things.
1. We need to communicate with someone new.
2. Tm helps you
3. 1. We teach people how to speak to each other.
2. We teach people to listen. How do we listen? Listen with your actively. A leader is a listener. You need to know what the real project is. You listen with your whole body. If the body says one thing and voice another believes the body.
3. We teach people to think on their feet. You need to have the same construction as a prepared speech. You need to have an opening, body and a close. You need to have only 2 to 3 max points.
4. We teach people how to be a member. Different people have different number of talents. You need to learn how to yes the talents that are yours. We want to follow someone who knows where they’re going and knows how to get there.
5. We teach people how to have confidence in themselves. This is the glue to the whole thing.
4. Q: how many of you belong to a perfect club. One way you can tell how good your club is, it is by how many ribbons you have on your banner. When guy became governor, he called top 5 districts and asks what they did well to get to their level. He told his officers what they said to him. He followed up each week with each officer and got status reports.
5. Usually present once a mo. To club officers’ where we are financially involved, gives you accountability.
6. Some use checks and ones that require signatures. Discourage that. Moved band close to where you’re meeting.
Other members take the money on treasurer behalf and the money has never been deposited. Document the deposit.
Make sure the club is aware of the finances.
Some will have a meal on winter and a pot-luck in summer.
