Everybody say congratulations. Got my new Competent Leader award from Toastmasters International in the mail today. It will look very nice next to my Competent Communicator award from February.
You may already know that TI helps you improve your public speaking skills but you may not be aware that we also have a leadership track to help improve that part of your skill set. I gave a couple of presentations on improving our club, the Talk of the Town club, to earn this latest designation.
The first was “Motivating People” which I gave on May 15th and the next was “Going Beyond Our Club” on May 29th. That was the perfect segue into being elected our club’s new Vice President of Education this month. My main job will be keeping the momentum going by making sure that club members continue advancing thru a series of certifications – the first being the CC and CL that I mentioned above – by scheduling speeches consistently. The more Competent Communicators and Advanced Communicators a club has the more the club and district are recognized and rewarded. Likewise for increasing the number of Competent and Advanced Leaders. We get cool ribbons for our club banner and everything.
