Tip of the Week: Be the VP-Ed!

Here’s my recruitment pitch!  VP-Education is a very important role for our club.  The VP-Education helps members achieve their goals, guides the club to meet its goals within the Distinguished Club Plan, and is an active member of the Electric Toasters Officers (ETO) committee.  The role also sets the weekly club schedule and submits member educational award applications to Toastmasters headquarters.  If you step up to fill this officer position, I will be available to answer questions and to mentor you as you grow into the role.  Please contact me if you have any questions about this very important position!

Tip of the Week: Your Best Evaluator…

…is yourself!  When you rehearse for your prepared speech – especially if you rehearse alone – video record or audio record your speech (free apps are readily available for smart phones), play it back, and give yourself some feedback.  We all are our own harshest critics, so rest assured your feedback will be very helpful!
