Helping Clubs Thrive – The Unscripted Way
2025-11-05 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Toronto)
Who Should Attend This workshop is for all Toastmasters — officers, members, and guests alike — who want their club to feel alive, not routine. Whether you’re leading from the front or simply showing up each week, you’ll gain practical ways to energize meetings, strengthen connections, and create a culture that makes every member proud to belong.

Why Attend

Walk away knowing exactly how to turn an ordinary meeting into an experience members and guests remember.

See how to use listening — the overlooked powerhouse of engagement — to motivate speakers and inspire loyalty.

Learn how a simple monthly goal can align officers and members, creating momentum the whole club can feel. Leave with the 4A framework (Awareness, Acceptance, Alignment, Action) — a practical tool to help your club thrive immediately.
