Saturday, December
10th Toastmasters Leadership Institute at Texas Wesleyan University offers a Perfect
10 in educational and leadership growth sessions! Not only can all incoming
Club Officers attend designated training to learn about their new roles, but 10
(ten!!) elective classes will warm up a cold winter’s day and send you away
enlightened and empowered!
1. Advanced Leadership Training: For those
who have served in their elected office previously, we offer a great alternate leadership
class with motivational speaker and personal growth coach Aldean Pearson. You’ll
be REDEFINING LEADER in this
advanced class.
2. Here Come de Judge! WE
WANT YOU for contest judge/chief judge duty! (Hey, you could judge and be in charge! What Toastmaster
wouldn’t like that?) We’re even offering a doorbuster special: a 1 hour update for experienced judges
seeking to renew their certification. (Judge certification is good for 2 years.
Is it time for YOU to renew?)
3. Motivating
Achievement: You’ll learn about
opportunities for growth available through the Toastmasters International
Communication and Leadership tracks and membership programs. What’s not to
like?
4. Attracting New
Members to Your Club: You know you need ‘em! Every club needs new
members, not only to maintain your numbers for the DCP, but because you want to
share the good news about Toastmasters with everybody in the whole wide world! Hey,
what if you never had attended a Toastmasters meeting or joined up? What would
you be missing (besides sleeping in on a Saturday morning while we’re out here
having fun)? Here’s how to get ‘em in the door and make them want to stay!
5. Update Your
Website: Hey,
your FreeToastHost website is going bye-bye unless you switch to 2.0 soon . . .
very soon!! Our technical wizard hired right off the set of Harry Potter
tells you how to convert!
6. Contest Quality
Training: Don’t
you just love contests? The excitement of competition? The energy of the crowd?
The free snacks? You want your club, area, and division to put on THE BEST LITTLE CONTEST IN TEXAS, don’t
you? This session is for all you contest chairmen out there, and anyone else
who wants to know how to make your contest the BEST!
7. How to Conduct
Productive Meetings: Hmmm.
Productive. You mean like having meetings that start and end on time? That get
everyone involved? That allow time for positive interaction and input? That
follow parliamentary procedure? That are fun? That are so great you can’t wait
to come next time? The principles taught in this session apply to ALL meetings,
not just to Toastmasters! Find out the secrets of a successful meeting at this
stimulating session and you’ll never again watch the clock thinking, “Will this
meeting ever end?”
8. Marketing
Training: This
is a “twofer,” with discussion devoted both to pre-charter (demo) meeting
training and to member retention. Hey, you can’t go wrong with two great topics
like that!!
9. Club
Sponsor/Mentor/Coach: You have enjoyed Toastmasters and want to share your
expertise and enthusiasm with a new or struggling club. Get involved by
attending this informative session.
10. Santa Claus Is
Coming to Town! Our
Lunch and Learn is Reindeer Games! Join Santa, Mrs.
C., and the Reindeer for Holiday Table Topics.
Compete for Best Table Topics Response and for Best Holiday
Attire! You might find out who’s been naughty and nice, so be there for
goodness sake!!
