What is Toastmasters Leadership Institute? TLI
is a training seminar sponsored by the Toastmasters Clubs of Barbados
to give all Toastmasters, particularly our incoming officers, the
opportunity to enhance their leadership and communication skills,
and prepare participants to contribute to the building of successful
clubs.
Is TLI only for club officers? TLI offers classes
for all Toastmasters (TMs). Topics typically include preparing different
kinds of speeches, evaluating speeches, table topics ideas, Mentoring,
general evaluation of club meetings, listening, and many other "electives"
of general interest. TLI also offers the participant an opportunity
to meet other Toastmasters, making new friends, and obtaining names
and phone numbers of good resources within the District.
Why should I consider attending TLI? To grow and
develop your skills; to learn from experienced TMs; to network -
meet and share ideas with other TMs; to share your questions and
challenges with other TMs and get the benefit of their experiences;
to build up a list of names and phone numbers of TMs you can call
when a problem arises and you need help; and to have fun!
Who facilitates the classes? Experienced TMs who
are willing to share their knowledge and experiences, to bring out
the best in others.
What is the format of the classes? Lots of class
interaction; hands-on exercises where applicable and practical;
breakout groups and activities.
When is TLI? Will be held, a few weeks after election
of officers, in May or June of each year.
What are the hours? Currently the program runs
for a half day starting at 8:30 am but will eventually be a full
day event.
Do I need to attend the entire time? Club officer
training is usually scheduled in the morning; elective sessions
will be scheduled throughout the day (morning and afternoon). Come
when you can; leave when you must.
What are the costs? Currently the cost is $15.
Refreshments are included in the cost.
Do I qualify for a reduced registration fee if I only come
for part of the day? No. The registration fee pays for
the preparatory work done for the seminar. The cost to stage the
seminar remains the same whether persons attend for an hour or for
the entire duration.
How can I get more information? Contact your
club's VP Education or VP Public Relations.
