Trimming the Sails – AD/DD Training

When faced with new or changing circumstances, adept sailors ”trim the sails” to steer their boats more smoothly into the wind. John Maxwell reminds us in the this quote that leaders adopt similar practices.
“The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The leader adjusts the sails.”
.
On June 20, the District Executive Committee (departing and incoming) will meet online for a day organized to:
– facilitate the transition
– introduce us to specific roles and responsibilities
– provide insights into the team
– strengthen relationships
– remind us that “in every job that must be done there is an element of fun.”
As D42’s Executive Committee, it is valuable to know each others’ Leadership and Communication Styles.
Toastmasters provides questionnaires for determining both within Pathways, Level 2 projects.
These links provide access to both Style Questionnaires and Ranking Guides for your use (or you can check out Pathways for more insight.)
Both questionnaires are available in Level 2:
– Dynamic Leadership
– Effective Coaching
– Visionary Communication

Leadership Style Questionnaire available in Level 2
– Innovative Planning
– Leadership Development
– Persuasive Influence
– Strategic Relationships

Communication Style Questionnaire available in Level 2
– Motivational Strategies
– Presentation Mastery
– Team Collaboration

Please complete the questionnaires, submit your styles with your registration before June 12, 2020.

This information allows the creation of a graphic, which will enable all of us to practice versatility for better team engagement.

We look forward to setting sail with you on June 20th.

Registration Open Until: June 12, 2020

What makes a leader?

Effective leaders empower others to accomplish personal goals and contribute to the successful completion of group objectives. Leaders act as role models for others to emulate. They provide guidance and feedback throughout the course of assigned projects and often help others improve their skills. Great leaders inspire others to follow them.

This Leadership Training is an opportunity for Toastmasters to learn about a variety of topics as they prepare to enter their new roles for 2020-2021. The goal is for all 7 club officers to be trained, a minimum of 4 officers is required duirng this training period.
