Why do I need to attend 2 nd round of training? Why can’t we offer a Noon-hour session? How can I get clubs to participate? Why should we train 100% of club officers? When do we train officers of newly chartered clubs? Frequently Asked Questions?
Why Attend 2 nd Round COT? Get direct access to District Leaders Share your own ideas and experiences Network with members from other clubs Build personal relationships with other members Expand your network Revisit the goals set in July Introduce your mentees to leadership opportunities Explore other Toastmasters roles Club DCP goal
Why Can’t We Offer Noon-hour COT? Not enough time to cover the important aspects of training Not enough time to offer consistent, professional training that supports the branding, enhances members experience Could appear to diminish the value of training, implies that it is “good enough”
How Can We Get Clubs to Participate Ask them to host the event Combine with Area Council Meeting Create a potluck Keynote speaker to draw the crowd Special situation for a club that has a history? Please contact me and I will share some hints as to how to get these clubs involved in training.
Why should we train 100% Why not? Builds a stronger team What would happen if hockey team didn’t train their goalie? If the fire hall didn’t train 40% of their team? If the television crew didn’t train their camera man? It takes 7 club officers working together to direct a club to be strong
When do we train officers of newly chartered clubs? As soon as possible Sponsors & mentors meet with the club executive and conduct training that covers the responsibilities of each officers role Invite the officers to attend district-sponsored COT so they can network with other toastmasters
