It’s that time of year to reflect upon where you have been, and more importantly where you are going.
In assessing all of your life goals, be sure to include Toastmasters goals as well.
For example:
- Completing new advanced speech manual
- Preparing to become an officer for your club
- Finishing your Competent Communicator
- Visiting two other clubs in your Area.
No matter your goals, make sure that they are concrete, measurable and achievable.
Notice that I have until here avoided using the oft-invoked word resolution. Sure, resolution is a positive word, but it lacks backbone. Resolutions are vague assertions, while a concrete goal allows you to outline all the steps needed to accomplish your goal in the time required.
Good luck as we enter into a New Year. It is worth your while to take some time to contemplate your next challenges as a person and as a Toastmaster!
What are your Toastmaster’s goal for 2012?
