START WITH HEART

THE START

STEP 1

The trick to leadership is to serve. Meetings aren’t for you anymore, they are for others.

From the moment a guest arrives, it is ALL of leadership’s duty to make sure that the person is told what to expect.

4/27

STEP 1

TM

@GANTLABORDE

11 of 39

  • 01./ Make sure all printed materials and online marketing tells them what to expect.
  • ​
  • 02./ Acknowledge guests quickly, and show them it’s a safe, friendly, and high-quality space.
  • 03./ Make sure they understand the values of Toastmasters, and the club mission.
  • 04./ Introduce them to other leaders and members who will guide the membership process.

STEP 1 - ACTIONS

You can pretend to care, but you can’t pretend to show up.

SHOW YOU CARE

@GANTLABORDE

LET ACTIONS SPEAK

THE HEART

STEP 2

If a follower cannot find their role model in a group, they will find another group.

Actions speak louder than words. Leading by example is the only way to show Toastmasters works.

4/27

STEP 2

TM

@GANTLABORDE

14 of 39

  • 01./ Publicly acknowledge and highlight people’s levels along their Toastmaster journey.
  • 02./ Run an effective meeting, with excellent speeches and feedback.
  • 03./ Make sure you stay on time, explain roles, and demonstrate the Toastmaster structure.
  • 04./ Let them experience Table Topics, if you have time and they are up to it.

Building relationships is not about transactions - it’s about connections

MAKE A CONNECTION

REMEMBER

STEP 3

A meeting doesn’t make a member, The feeling a person has from the meeting does.

Desire survives the goal - you have to start the fire.

4/27

STEP 3

TM

@GANTLABORDE

17 of 39

  • 01./ Ask people in a comfortable way to give remarks about the meeting.
  • 02./ Give that person a time-bridge. This can be a role, a book, or a video to watch.
  • 03./ Keep track of guests and talking with them is the job of every leader, not just VPM.
  • 04./ Be their coffee buddy, and don’t bring up Toastmasters. They will remind themselves.

  2. Get personal attention
    • VPM - First 30 seconds
    • Ask them what they thought CORRECTLY
  3. AFTER?
