Editor's Notes

  • #2 Today, at this moment, everyone in this room should either have a mentor or be a mentor or both.Unfortunately that’s not so with our club.Is that bad?
  • #3 It’s good to ask questions from different perspectives when examining an issue. Maybe it would be better to ask “Could that be better?”We need to answer the basic why, how, what, who, where, and when questions to clarify, understand, then act on this issue.
  • #4 A mentor is a role model, guide, tutor, and advisor.a wise, loyal advisor. As a mentor, you have the opportunity towho shares wisdom, knowledge and experience with a new Toastmaster who wants to learn, grow and achieve.
  • #8 As mentees progress thru the program they in turn become mentors to new membersMentors get important credit toward CL completion.Mentoring may continue thru the entire 10 project CC manual.Stronger club with CLs.More, better trained CCs. Level 1: 1 Program AdministratorLevel 2: 3 MentorLevel 3: 2 Mentee for each Mentor
  • #11 A mentor provides a positive, nurturing environment that benefits the other person. You can provide this environment by: Offering opportunities for skill development Helping the person recognize areas needing work Providing helpful advice Being a role model Encouraging people to think for themselvesQuestions about the meeting roles and dutiesQuestions about the operation of the club.Questions about the roles and duties of the club officers.Questions about Toastmasters InternationalQuestions about other speeches in the communications manualExplain responsibilities, how to schedule speeches or perform other roles during the meeting.Help them become comfortable and a part of the Club inany way you can. 
  • #12 Mentoring would be no problem for those members working in an office within close proximity of one another.
