Club Member information:

Sandra Amelino, DTM retired from her Federal Career at the VA Loma Linda after 30 years. She says that Toastmasters is the reason for her success in her career as a computer trainer. She received six promotions because of the communication and leadership skills she acquired in Toastmaster. Toastmasters is one of the best things you can do for your self. It is a positive, nurturing, supportive learning environment.

Sharon Persall, ATM-S/CL, joined Toastmasters in 2000 when a work assignment highlighted her abject fear of making presentations. While many considered her to be an excellent trainer and very outgoing, the truth was she suffered from severe anxiety attacks whenever she rose to speak in a meeting, complete with the pounding heart, profuse sweating, dry mouth and tunnel vision. Toastmasters gave her the confidence and skills to master most any setting. She credits Toastmasters with helping her obtain two excellent promotions in her agency. She now manages a program with over 80 staff, from three different agencies, that reaches from Blythe to Corona. Without mastering her anxiety, Sharon would not be able to function in her current job. The Toastmasters experience is different for every member. For some it's an opportunity for social interaction. For others, it's the path to a new career, and for still others, it's just the right about of support and encouragement to take them places they never imagined. But for Sharon, it was and still is, an opportunity to explore new facets of her life, to grow professionally, and to help others overcome their fear of public speaking.

    Your Vision Needs Leadership Skills

  • A good leader must have vision. But a good leader must also possess good interpersonal relations skills—it’s not enough to know where you want to go; you must also know how to get your team to help get you there.
  • A good leader must:

  • Listen. Listening with your ears, as well as your eyes, helps you acquire information, enabling you to identify and clarify issues, make decisions, resolve conflicts, and be creative. Listening also helps team building. Your team members have important contributions to make in how to bring about the team goal. You must listen to their suggestions and carefully evaluate them.

  • Think critically. Critical thinking is crucial to making good decisions. After gathering information, you must analyze, interpret and understand it before acting. Question the information and determine its quality, and then use logical reasoning to reach conclusions and make decisions.

  • Give constructive feedback. Fulfillment of your vision is your goal. In order for that to happen, you must provide feedback to team members in a way that enables them to do their best. Team members need to know what they are doing well, what they are not doing well, and how they can improve. Giving performance feedback is a necessary leadership function. And if it is done in a constructive manner, feedback can actually reduce stress for the team members.

  • Plan well. Your plan is your road map to achieving your vision. It details the goals, strategies, and schedules that will fulfill your vision. It also assigns responsibilities to team members, taking advantage of their skills and giving them opportunities to grow. As the project progresses, you will need to review your plan and, if necessary, revise it.

  • Manage time efficiently. In order to make the most out of the time available to achieve your vision, you must manage not only your own time carefully, but also that of your team. You must know when to start sub-projects and when they must be completed. And you must be able to fit the unforeseen into your plan.

  • Delegate. Teamwork allows you to accomplish a greater goal, so you must create a well-working team. Assign specific areas of responsibility to each team member to handle as they see fit.

  • Facilitate. A team leader must help the team function properly by acting as a “go-between” between members, resolving conflict and clarifying the roles of the team members.

  • Inspire and motivate. Show the team that the vision is meaningful and attainable, and that everybody’s contribution is needed and appreciated. A motivated team will overcome obstacles of all types to achieve its goals. A good leader creates and maintains an environment where team members are likely to become motivated.

    We hope you will visit us soon!
