PQD Club Excellence – Workshop on Building a healthy team

Among the top benefits of Toastmasters’ membership is getting the opportunity to join a team. Living up to the organization’s tagline “Where Leaders Are Made”, teamwork represents an integral element of the Toastmasters experience, as members ultimately become members of leadership teams at the club, Area, Division, District and International levels.

The objective of this interactive session is for club officers to identify the main attributes that define a high performing team which will assist them in establishing a clear understanding on how to build a collaborative, cohesive, and comfortable team.
