Governor Education and Training - Kent Peterson Lt. Governor Marketing Esther Phahla Public Relations Officer Angie Nett Division B-4 Division C-6 Message from Michael Osur, DTM District 12 Governor 2013-2014 District Highlights District 1 2 Adventures To World Headquarters and welcoming visitors Page 9 District Executive Committe Leadership, Learning and Friends - Page 1 0 Saturday Morning Toastmasters Photos from the Open House event Page 1 1 Poised for Success Our District continues on its path to success. We have new clubs starting, officers trained and members achieving their goals as we Make a Difference every day. On February 8, 201 4 our District Executive Committee (DEC) met for the third time this Toastmasters year. The DEC is comprised of the Top 3 (District Governor, Lt. Governor Education and Training, Lt. Governor Marketing), the District Public Relations Officer, Treasurer, Secretary, Parliamentarian, Sgt. at Arms, the five Division Governors and the 27 Area Governors as well as our Immediate Past District Governor. We had the honor of having our Region 1 0 Advisor Rose Beeson and Past International Director Tim Swearingen attend and present excellent training sessions for our District leaders. Tim presented his “Bayonet Leadership” session. The key points of Bayonet Leadership include: Having a Vision, Keeping it simple, Make it motivating, Be inclusive, Use W-U-O statements, Be aware of generational differences and Admit your mistakes. 1 Continued from Page - 1 Michael Osur Michael Osur, DTM District 1 2 Governor I want to emphasize the importance of the W-U-O statements. W-U-O statements are statements that include the words: “we”, “us”, “our”. For example, we can make a difference as we help our members, District 1 2 is our district, it is up to us to make a difference to our members and clubs. Tim also shared some of the keys to the success of his district (#3 in Arizona) when he was District Governor a few years ago. He shared his vision and helped his members visualize success. Our vision this year is to Make a Difference – for our members, our clubs and our community. We are successful when we start new clubs to bring Toastmasters to ever more people, when our members achieve their goals as communicator and leaders and when we are recognized for our clubs achieving distinguished or better status by Toastmasters International. A concrete example of visualizing our success will be when we are recognized on stage in August 201 4 for reaching District Distinguished or better status in Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia. Please join us in KL, be sure your passport is current. On February 20th, I had an opportunity to have dinner with Region 11 International Director (ID) Khaled Matlagaitu from Saudi Arabia. The Toastmasters International Board was meeting that week in Orange County. As all IDs do, his first question to me was “how is your District doing?” What are our challenges and what level of distinguished will we be? We discussed some exciting strategies to helping clubs keep and get new members and how we can improve our member experience. After dinner when I dropped Khaled off at his hotel, I met five other IDs as they were finishing their dinner: Mike Barsul (Region 2), Patricia Hannan (Region 4), Lori Lococo (Region 6), Richard Peck (Region 9) and our own Region 1 0 Director, Don Griffith . What an honor to spend just a few minutes with such dedicated and focused leaders in our organization. They are all genuinely interested in how we are doing, what they can do to help and how we can help our members succeed. They were thrilled to hear about the new clubs we have started, our leads for more new clubs and how we are working to improve our member retention. Their parting words to me: “See you on stage in KL!” Speaking of new clubs: Congratulations to Division D, Talented Talkers (#3483333) in Palm Desert, Area D4 and to Division E, Social Media (# 371 01 86) in Corona, Area E1 . Area D4 Area Governor Margaret Seeley and E1 Governor David Carpenter (with a major assist from his wife Cindy Carpenter) are to be congratulated for all their hard work in getting these clubs started. Our Lt. Governor Marketing, Esther Phahla and our new club extension chair Lois Sicking PDG are working hard as they strive to qualify new 2 Continued from Page - 2 Michael Osur club leads and help new clubs get started. Lt. Governor Education and Training, Kent Peterson is helping ensure all our club officers are trained and that our Silver Jubilee Spring Conference at the Riviera Resort in Palm Springs on May 2 and 3 is the best one yet. Thank you all for Making a Difference to our members and our community every day. Michael Osur, DTM District Governor gov@d1 2toastmasters.org, 951 -31 3-631 3 Kent Peterson, DTM Lt. Governor of Education and Training 2013-2014 Training Highlights Being responsible for Education and Training for the district I’m constantly looking for material to enhance what we do and incorporate items in new training, educationals and supporting members and clubs. Kent Peterson, DTM District 1 2 LGET I recently read the book the 5 Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni . He talks about: Trust, Conflict, Commitment, Accountability and Results. Wow-This ties directly into what we do in Toastmasters. Here is what I mean: Trust - If we trust the intent of what Toastmasters asks us to do and when we prepare our speeches with the objectives being followed our members and clubs will progress and excel. Conflict - This is a positive step to help clubs and members grow if it is done constructively and honestly always with the thought of helping the club and the member and not being something that is designed to be destructive. In other words if meetings or clubs are off track, don’t be afraid to have the officers and members get together and see what can be done to improve things. Commitment - We have many committed members (and some that should be - joking!) at all levels of Toastmasters. Some members are committed to their clubs and have no desire to step out of this role and are dedicated to making them and their club successful. Others seek to work through the various levels of Toastmasters following the Leadership and Communication tracks and they obtain the Distinguished Toastmaster rating. Accountability- Are individual goals being met? Are manuals brought to meetings? Are strong evaluations part of your meetings? Are 3 Continued from Page - 3 Kent Peterson educationals presented? Do members attend TLI and other educational programs? Do you prepare your speeches and make them the best they can be? Are meetings enjoyable, exciting, varied, Etc. Results-When we work the program successfully the end results are magnificent and serve the member and the club. If you enjoy reading self awareness or leadership books here are few, from a list of many that are recommended reading: It’s Your Ship - D. Michael Abrashoff The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership - John C. Maxwell Strengths Finder 2.0 - Tom Rath How Full is Your Bucket - Tom Rath & Daniel O. Clifton Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead - Sheryl Sandberg Good to Great - Jim Collins The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen R. Covey Do you have a passion for leadership or self improvement? Think about how you can do a presentation for your club and share your passion. Kent Peterson, DTM District 1 2, Lt.
