Frequently Asked Questions?


Why Attend 2nd Round COT?

Get direct access to District Leaders Share your own ideas and experiences Network with members from other clubs Build personal relationships with other members Expand your network Revisit the goals set in July Introduce your mentees to leadership opportunities Explore other Toastmasters roles Club DCP goal


Why Can’t We Offer Noon-hour COT?

Not enough time to cover the important aspects of training

Not enough time to offer consistent, professional training that supports the branding, enhances members experience

Could appear to diminish the value of training, implies that it is “good enough”


How Can We Get Clubs to Participate

Ask them to host the event Combine with Area Council Meeting Create a potluck Keynote speaker to draw the crowd Special situation for a club that has a history?

Please contact me and I will share some hints as to how to get these clubs involved in training.


Why should we train 100%

Why not? Builds a stronger team What would happen if hockey team didn’t train their

goalie? If the fire hall didn’t train 40% of their team? If the television crew didn’t train their camera man?

It takes 7 club officers working together to direct a club to be strong


When do we train officers of newly chartered clubs?

As soon as possible Sponsors & mentors meet with the club executive and

conduct training that covers the responsibilities of each officers role

Invite the officers to attend district-sponsored COT so they can network with other toastmasters


Responsible for June 2015 training Record debriefing notes to share

with incoming Area & Division Governors

Include locations, club history, challenges, presenters, agendas

Critique of what worked, what should be changed

Looking Ahead
