Learning to understand our fellow members and leaders is one of the best things we can do in Toastmasters to maintain club membership. This presentation speaks to one of the most effective ways to accomplish that goal. While this deck was prepared for Toastmasters, it may be applied in many other business and personal environments. This deck was presented at the Toastmaster's District 45 Fall Conference on Prince Edward Island, Canada on October 25, 2014. Since the presentation, I noticed that TM has updated the survey with 2014 data. It can be found here: http://bit.ly/1FwRRoE
