This month I got elected to be secretary of my Toastmasters club. I got to go to the Toastmasters Leadership Institute (TLI) and learn about what I would be doing for the secretary position. Just for giggles and grins I attended the building club spirit and what to do for Sergent At Arms positions. They did mention that the trainers would be on the same page for this years TLI and it showed.
For the secretary position and Sergent At Arms position they covered some of the what you will be doing and some details about the Leadership Opportunities. Some of the leadership opportunities included setting realistic and attainable goals, planning, delegation, monitoring progress, and coaching team members as necessary. Their was also more depth in covering how to motivate, delegate, barriers of delegation, and how to coach.
Building club spirit wise was interesting because it covered aspects of how to make things interesting for people. It covered elements of how to keep people motivated to accomplish their goals. Some elements of building or keeping team spirit include: first impressions, teamwork, traditions, celebrations/socialization, or progress. All of these elements hopefully will keep the group motivated to continue accomplishing their goals that brought them to Toastmasters.
