New Years Resolutions 2020
New years bring new resolutions, new decades even more so. As part of the Effective Coaching path - Chad Large, our VP of Public relations (also our blog writer speaking of himself in third person ) lead the club in the Building Consensus project. Consensus being something that everyone can agree on. We gathered ideas for things that we could do to strengthen our club and we came to a consensus on three things.
Always show respect. I’m glad to say we’re already quite good at this, and as a group we agreed that this is something we would like to maintain and build upon. In 2020, we will be cognizant of our respect for others. As professionals we will respect each others time and efforts. We will show this by arriving early for meetings so that we are ready to begin and don’t interrupt speeches in progress.
On the last Thursday of the month, a senior member will give a 10 minute educational presentation to help new members become acquainted with any part of Toastmasters (speeches, pathways, easy speak etc). We want to build the confidence of our new members and guests.
On the last Thursday of the month, a member will also bring in treats! Out of respect for Fortinos providing us space we do ask that treats are purchased from our hosts. Fortunately they do have a wonderful variety to choose from!
So, on January 30th come out for a special educational presentation from our VP Education, James Ahola and some treats provided by our VP Public Relations, Chad Large.
All the best, and a happy new year to you all!
Chad Large
VP Public Relations
