ASQ LYNCHBURG SECTION EVENT – 5S, Motivation in Training and Toastmasters on Dec 17, 2015 Our ASQ Lynchburg section’s sixth and final event for the year involved presentations “5S, A Practical Users Guide” by our 2016 ASQ Lynchburg Section’s Chair, Chip Lamb; “Motivation in Training” by Viki Gossen and “Why do Quality professionals need Toastmasters?” by Muthuraman Annamalai. Chip in his presentation he gave us an overview of the 5S tool and gave us examples of practical application of 5S usage home, shop floor, and in the office. Viki in her Motivation in Training presentation provided us with a process that can be used by Quality professionals to get employees to pay attention during training. Muthu spoke to us about how joining a world-class organization like Toastmasters International can help Quality professionals develop communication and leadership skills, resulting in greater self-confidence and personal growth. The event was held at Central Virginia Community College (CVCC) Merritt Hall. Dinner was catered from
Upper Crust Pizza and was provided complimentary for all ASQ members.
