Coach Yourself to Success by Coaching other Clubs

Did you want to take your “Inspiring, Listening, Persuading, Leadership and Speaking skills to the next level? 

 
Club coach requires all these skills and more. You will grow exponentially in all the qualities you came to Toastmasters to learn. And let’s face it; the club needs your guidance. Give back to the Toastmasters Community, that launched you!
 
Think out of the box – Perhaps you want to be a club coach but time, location and such, get in your way. This is 2018, think out of the box….. perhaps you could be a virtual club coach. We know it is best to be at a club in person, to get to know the club members, and if you can do that; it would be our first choice. 
 
BUT, Toastmasters has virtual clubs now, and once you contacted the club to determine if they want your help, there are 2 attachments here that can help.        1. How to rebuild a Toastmasters club. 2. Application to become a club coach that once the club agrees, you complete and submit to Bett Bollhoefer; D57’s very own Club Growth Director. Email Bett at bett@d57tm.org to get those resources.
 
She needs to approve the application, based on a club with 12 or less members as of July 1, 2018; and then she will send it to Toastmasters. Once approved by Toastmasters you can start being a Club Coach (but not in a club in which you are already a member). Your goal is to get the club to at least “Distinguished” status by June 30, 2019, and if you miss that deadline, you have another year to keep honing your skills and helping the club & members you are coaching, to reach Distinguished or better. 
 
It is not hard to be a coach but it does take all your Inspiring, Listening, Persuading, Leadership and Speaking skills to the next level? And you get credit toward your next DTM 
 
CONGRATULATIONS TO Talia Beigi, Edson Ramos, Karen Leffler, Cynthia Stott, Jolen Philbrook, Nathan Mellin; for having been successful Club Coaches in the past. Perhaps you would like to take on another club deserving of your expertise.
