Online Open House Experience Incentive

Running online open houses is easy if you work as a team. Learn best practices, tips and tricks here to run a successful online open house (there are key differences between a virtual and in-person open house). Now – the incentive:

Earn $50 in District Bucks for your club by running an online open house  To get reimbursed, email openhouse@d57tm.org the following within 30 days of your event. 

    • An advertisement of your open house on social media/email to former members/all guests you’ve had in the past

    • Your online guest book
    • Which guest(s) became member(s)?  You should have at least three guests or at least one new member.
    • A photo/screenshot of your online open house.

Not sure what qualifies as an open house? Here’s a short definition and purpose of a Toastmasters Club Open House:

Definition:

  • An event that is planned, organized, promoted and hosted by a Toastmasters Club at their regular club meeting day, time and location.
  • Events that are not hosted by a Toastmasters Club, such as community events or events sponsored by other organizations, such as college career fairs, Farmers Markets, etc. do not qualify as a Toastmasters Club Open House

Purpose: there are two purposes of an Open House:

  • To provide members with practice in collaboration and teamwork, building valuable skills that can be applied outside of Toastmasters as well as within the club, adding value for club members
  • To grow the club by attracting new members

Dave Blum
The Memory Palace

Have you ever found yourself up there at the lectern, your speech well-practiced, only to realize with horror that your mind has come to a complete blank? If your answer is yes, you’re not alone. At one time or another, we’ve all blanked out on a key element of one of our speeches. It’s no reflection on you or your memory. Most of us rely on “rote memorization” to practice our speeches–an out-dated method that doesn’t work very well with the way our brains are actually wired.

In this highly-interactive session, you will learn how to turn your speeches into a series of highly-memorizable images that work in sync with your brain’s wiring, making the whole process much easier, more effective and more fun.

During this session, you’ll learn how to:

  1. Create unforgettable mental images for each element of your speech
  2. Link these images into a vivid and memorable story
  3. Place your images in a “memory palace”, a technique favored as far back as the Ancient Greeks and Romans.

If you want to never forget another Toastmasters speech, this is the session for you!
