Message from Michael Osur, DTMDistrict 12 Governor 2013-2014

Silver Jubilee: Making a Difference

Riverside’s only castle was the setting for the July 20, 201 3 Awards and

Instal lation Luncheon. Benedict Castle is the home of Teen Challenge, a

non-profit that helps those with alcohol and drug addictions.

The luncheon was a time to reflect on the past Toastmasters year and

an opportunity to look ahead to the coming one. This year wil l be the

Silver Jubilee of District 1 2, our 25th anniversary. Our theme for the

year and our conferences is “Making a Difference.”

Toastmasters makes a difference. I t makes a difference to each of us as

individuals as we become better speakers, communicators and leaders.

I t makes a difference to our clubs as we work together as a team to

improve the member experience and help others to achieve their goals

of improving their speaking and communication skil ls. I t makes a

difference to our community. Our communities benefit when

Toastmasters, as a learning, teaching and educational organization

helps others to grow and meet the work-a-day challenges of our l ives.

Advanced Manuals

We’re featuring a different manual each month, to let members know

about the various Advanced Manuals that are available to them after

they complete their Competent Communication Manual. In the July

issue of Images, we talked about The Technical Presentation Manual.

This month we feature: Specialty Speeches.

Speakers are often called upon to give different kinds of talks. This

manual contains information about giving the most common ones; it

Did you feel the energy in the room? The enthusiasm of the Division

and Area Governors to bring the message of Toastmasters to a larger

audience was exciting. Did you sense the commitment of our Past

District Governors and Past International Directors as they instal led

the incoming District officers? What a wonderful team we have to help

us all Make a Difference this year.

Thank you to Richard Snyder, PID who put many hours of work into

making the event such a success and to Founder’s PDG Club 407

members who went out of their way to help us make the luncheon a

success.

covers impromptu talks, preparing inspirational speeches, sel l ing a

product, reading out loud and introducing a speaker.

Introducing a speaker is something we do all the time as Toastmasters.

A good introduction should: guide thinking, add power and set the mood.

Guide thinking - This sets the tone for the topic at hand, so the group

wil l know what to look for.

Add power - This contributes to the speaker’s authority by establishing

that he or she speaks from preparation, knowledge or experience.

Set the mood - For example: I f a serious subject was presented by the

previous speaker, the introduction can prepare the audience for a more

light-hearted speech to fol low.

Evaluations

How strong are your Evaluations? Do you give the same type of

evaluation for those giving speeches in their Competent Communicator

Manual as those giving Advanced Manual speeches?

Speakers/members have different skil l levels and you should be aware

of these. I f you have a new member that is just joining a club, and he or

she hears an advanced evaluation of a seasoned member, make sure it

is stated up front that the evaluation is being given at an advanced level

so you don’t scare away members. Address the objectives of the

speech and let the speaker know if he or she met the objectives. Be

honest without being brutal. Don’t repeat what the speaker said. Rather,

let the speaker know what was and wasn’t effective about the speech.

Keep in mind, the purpose of evaluations is to help speakers grow. In

order for them to grow, they require constructive and honest evaluations.

Here's where you can hear advanced evaluations in District 1 2.

Speakers Bureau, which meets the first Wednesday of the Month at

6:59 pm, at 1 1 201 Benton Street, Loma Linda CA 92357. For further

information, contact Charles Z. Radney at 877-723-6391 or email at

czradney@msn.com.

Also, Circle ofChampions is an Advanced Evaluation Club in District

1 2, organized by and for aspiring professional speakers and evaluators

whose primary focus is helping its individual members master

professional level ski l ls. For further information contact Randy Powell

at 909-720-0207 or rapin54sit@yahoo.com.

By August 30th we need to have all of our officers trained. This is one of

the requirements for the Distinguished Club Program. For more

information go to www.toastmasters.org search on Distinguished Club

Would you like your Club to be a Distinguished Club? The Club

Coach Program can help. The Club Coach Program helps challenged

clubs become Distinguished clubs.

Which Clubs need a Coach? Any club with 1 2 or fewer individuals

who have paid for membership at the time of the appointment

qualifies to have a Coach.

A Club Coach is appointed by the district governor or l ieutenant

governor marketing, with the approval of the Club members, to assist

a club that is experiencing difficulties building and maintaining

membership. The Coach’s goal is to help the club become a

Distinguished Club. Up to two Coaches may be appointed to each

club. The appointment lasts to June 30 of the current club year if the

club becomes a Distinguished Club or better by that date, or to June

30 of the fol lowing year if Distinguished Club recognition or better is

not reached in the current club year.

Who can be a Club Coach? The Club Coach is a Toastmaster who is

not a member of the club and not (yet) famil iar with the club or its

members. This perspective allows the coach to objectively view the

club. The coach is a counselor, a source of knowledge and a fountain

of ideas.

The coach may not be a member of the club at the time of

appointment, but may join the club after being assigned.

Benefits of Being a Club Coach: A coach receives a pin upon

assignment and a certificate upon successful completion of the

assignment. A successful coach also receives credit toward the

Advanced Leader Silver award.

Were there individuals on your l ist who were recommended to be Area

Governors who didn’t become one? Do you need credit towards an

Advanced Leader Silver to earn your DTM? This is your opportunity to

grow and inspire a Club by becoming a Club Coach. Let’s al l ral ly

around to find and inspire our membership to take the next step in

leadership. LET’S FIND A CLUB COACH TODAY!

MyToastmasters Experience by Lloyd Mize

Public speaking has always been a big attraction to me. As a small boy I was attracted to great

speakers and leaders. Presidents JFK and Ronald Regan, astronauts l ike Jon Glenn and other public

speakers and leaders such as Dr. Bil ly Graham, Earl Nightingale and Dr. Martin Luther King.

As a young man I mastered my fear of speaking in front of people. However, in my 20s and 30s I

discovered a difference between speaking and effective communication. I also discovered to be a

great leader, which I aspire to be, requires great communication skil ls.

Twin Cities Business Leaders Toastmasters has provided me with the type of education, network and

curriculum to develop my communication and leadership skil ls. By network I mean being in a network

of l ike-minded people who desired to improve and elevate their communication and leadership skil ls.

As a result of being a Toastmaster member since 201 1 , I have crafted and delivered over 1 5

speeches, completed the Competent Communication manual and published my first book, Reviving

The American Dream in Southern California, How to Purchase a Home and Pay it Off in 5 Years.

My communication skil ls continue to develop and improve within my personal, business and social l ife.

This has made significant and positive changes in al l my relationships. I seek to speak professionally

as much as possible and to influence others to have the quality of l ife we are all designed and gifted to

have.
