If you are to bring successful results to your team, any organization or even to build one, it is all about making a small positive difference in every member of your team, which eventually will bring wonderful results collectively.
Whilst being the charter president of Awakening Toastmasters during the last tenure, my vision was to provide every member something extraordinarily valuable at every meeting; something that will enable them to identify the importance of Toastmasters and will help them to be more effective towards this remarkable program.
I believe anything done with passion and enthusiasm, would result in guaranteed success. So when I prepare for a regular meeting, I always look for three effective E’s in every meeting to maintain the perseverance of our members towards participating while committing themselves to it.
Empowering – to bring out the best performance of every speaker or role player,
Educative – to make sure that every session is productive and worthwhile attending and
Entertaining – to maintain the audience attention and focus on the meeting.
Another element to make our Toastmasters meetings successful is to create better learning environment; from meeting arrangements to adequate supply of materials. Such as maintaining name cards, role players’ books and exhibiting our achievements in an effective manner while following the Brand Guidelines is also productive.
As Phil Jackson rightly said -”The strength of the team is each individual member; the strength of each member is the team”. Because, the success deeply rely on the members as well. Be sure you and your club members have the opportunity to evaluate your club’s climate from time to time. When you enjoy each other’s similarities, respect each other’s differences, and work together as a team, your club will continue to thrive.
