I am finally starting to get the mentoring program working in my Toastmasters club. I created a new Yahoo group and invited the mentors from our group. We have several that were interested in being mentors. I’ll give them a couple of days to sign up. If they don’t, then I’ll just add them.
On a topic of Toastmasters, we’re thinking of meeting in the summer. We can meet every Saturday. I would like to change some things so we can have what I call “Express Meetings.” What I mean by that is to have short and to the point meetings. It would allow us to move quickly and with speed. Plus, we would have a different experience, a summer experience.
I also think we should adopt a mission statement. It has to a be mission statement that is outside of our comfort zone. It has to be mission statement that never gets old. It has to inspire us to do great work every time we read it. Here’s what I came up for now.
“We continuously improve every members’ communication skills. We provide a friendly, supportive, learning, yet very challenging environment. We provide training for future leaders.”
