Toastmasters International recognizes someone as a mentor for helping a fellow club member develop communication and leadership skills. The club president signed a certificate recognizing this achievement. In 3 sentences or less, this summary provides the essential information that someone was recognized by Toastmasters International for being a mentor to another member.
This document provides guidance for mentors in Toastmasters. It assigns a new mentee and outlines responsibilities for mentors of new and experienced members. For new members, mentors should help them through their first meetings by explaining club procedures, assisting with their icebreaker speech, and providing ongoing feedback and support. For experienced members, mentors should help them develop a specific skill by providing insights, feedback, and referrals. The document emphasizes that mentors should guide mentees to think independently, be available, patient, sensitive, respectful, flexible, supportive, knowledgeable, confident, and good listeners to foster a successful mentoring relationship.
This document assigns a mentee to a mentor to help the mentee become familiar with club meetings and roles if they are new, or to develop special skills if experienced. It lists attributes the mentee should have to get the most from the relationship, including being eager to learn, receptive to feedback, open to new ideas, loyal in keeping confidences, and grateful for the mentor's volunteered time.
Mentoring involves a more experienced member taking a new member under their wing to help them adjust, providing guidance on skills, customs, and how to become a successful club member. Mentors act as coaches and role models, offering wisdom and perspective. Both mentors and mentees benefit - mentors help others while developing their own skills, and mentees learn faster and feel more confident and satisfied with the support of a mentor. The document outlines the steps a mentor should take in their first few meetings with a mentee to orient them and help them participate fully in the club.

3. THE LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE SERIES
Toastmasters International’s The Leadership Excellence Series is a set of presentations addressing the
subject of leadership. Members will learn about the skills they will need to be successful leaders
inside and outside of Toastmasters.
Presentations in The Leadership Excellence Series may be offered by any club member and
require 10 to 15 minutes to present.
CONDUCTING THE PRESENTATION
“Service and Leadership” discusses how leaders serve others by offering their knowledge and skills
to help others achieve a goal. This product consists of four parts:
Definition and explanation of the presentation
Guidelines for your introduction to the audience
Outline for the development of your speech
CD of a PowerPoint presentation to be viewed along with your speech
In Your Own Words
The outline is not a script and should not be read word-for-word. Instead, use the
document as a guide for presenting the material in your own words and with your
own narrative style. The outline is a structure on which to build your presentation.
Use the points of the outline to develop your speech, but be the author of your
own oration.
Here are some tips on using this outline to develop and deliver your presentation:
Study the outline carefully. Familiarize yourself with the general structure. Preparation is the
key to a successful presentation.
Use the outline to build your own speech using your own words. Prepare a set of notes indi-
cating where you wish to pause, gesture, or add special verbal emphasis. Highlight key words
or sentences to help you present the material most effectively.
Be expressive when delivering your speech. Use all of the presentation skills you have learned
as a Toastmaster including vocal variety and gestures.
USING VISUAL AIDS EFFECTIVELY
Visual aids add interest to any presentation and help your audience retain information. You are
encouraged to use them. If you plan to use the PowerPoint slides for this presentation as visual aids,
you will need a data projector, a laptop computer, a table to support them, and a screen for view-
ing. In the outline, there are indications for placement of the PowerPoint slides. Each is numbered.
For example, V1 refers to the first visual.
Please note that the first slide in the PowerPoint show is a title slide and is not included in this
numbering system.
2 THE LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE SERIES • SERVICE AND LEADERSHIP
4. If you cannot arrange for projection equipment but still would like to use visuals, you may
copy the material on the visuals onto a flipchart. Do this before the presentation. Use a heavy
marking pen that does not seep through the paper, and write on every third or fourth page so
succeeding visuals will not show through. Also, make your letters large and heavy with plenty
of space between them.
Follow these tips when using visual aids:
Set them up and test them before the meeting begins. Place them so they are easily visible
to listeners. Place your projector so it projects a large, high, undistorted image on the screen.
Focus the image.
Bring spare equipment, including a projector bulb, extension cord, extra marking pens, etc.
Display your visuals only when they are needed. If you are using a flipchart, flip the page back
out of view when you are finished with it.
Remember not to stand between the screen or flipchart and your audience or you will block
their view.
Maintain eye contact with your listeners. Do not talk to the screen or flipchart. If you must turn
your back to point out something, pause as you point it out, and then resume speaking only
after you are once again facing your audience.
EVALUATION AND THE ADVANCED LEADER BRONZE (ALB) AWARD
Because this is an outlined presentation, for presenting it you will not receive credit toward com-
pleting a manual speech project, but you may receive credit toward your Advanced Leader Bronze
(ALB) award. Ask your vice president education to assign an evaluator for your presentation.
Conducting any two presentations from The Successful Club Series and/or The Leadership
Excellence Series is one component of qualification for ALB recognition. For further details, please
view the Toastmasters International website: www.toastmasters.org/membereducation.

6. SERVICE AND LEADERSHIP
Outline
INTRODUCTION
A leader’s role is to serve the team members by helping the group work together, to provide
structure, and to facilitation discussion. Team leaders are focused on goals and team members. They
offer knowledge and skills to help others and encourage team members to challenge themselves
and grow while working to accomplish the team’s goals.
EFFECTIVE LEADERS V1
A leader’s true role is to serve the team members. Effective leaders:
Provide a clear direction through their vision, mission, values, goals, and plans
Foster collaboration through team building, delegation, coaching, and a service
leadership attitude
Motivate achievement by providing feedback, support, and recognition, and by
resolving conflicts
The goal of many leaders is to get people to think more highly of the leader.
The goal of a great leader is to help people to think more highly of themselves.
— J. Carla Nortcutt
CHARACTERISTICS OF TEAM LEADERS V2
Team leaders put the needs of the team members ahead of their own. They have confidence in the
abilities of the team and feel an obligation and desire to help them. Team leaders:
Encourage participation. They want team members to participate in the decision-making
process. They value team members’ creativity and knowledge, asking for their input and
suggestions.
Facilitate communication. They listen to others and clarify what they are thinking. They
encourage the flow of information among team members and strive to keep everyone
focused and united.
Facilitate problem-solving. They help team members identify problems and work together
to solve them.
Tolerate mistakes. They recognize that people will make mistakes and they also learn from
mistakes.
Help team members grow. Team leaders recognize the personal and professional potential
of each team member and strive to help each achieve this potential. They serve as mentors,
offering encouragement and support. They know that developing the knowledge and skills of
each team member benefits both the team and the individual.
Persuade. Team leaders don’t force others to follow a course of action. Instead, they persuade
others to act. This fosters commitment and collaboration among team members.

7. V3 BENEFITS OF TEAMS
Using teamwork can benefit a company or organization by:
Improving the quality of work life
Increasing productivity
Reducing costs
Enhancing product or service quality
Improving the quality of the company or organization
Working in teams can produce stronger, healthier companies and organizations. When leaders
and team members work together, everyone benefits.
SERVING THE GROUP
When team leaders serve their individual team members, they also serve their organization, com-
pany, or community. These leaders blend the goals of the individuals with those of the larger group
by keeping individuals mindful of their own goals and reporting exactly how their personal prog-
ress helps the team as a whole.
A person who is worthy of being a leader wants power not
V4 for himself, but in order to be of service.
— U.S. Senator Sam J. Ervin, Jr.
CONCLUSION
Successful leaders understand that their role is to serve others. They serve their team members and
their organizations, and they help the organization they lead to serve the community as well. These
leaders give others opportunities to learn and grow, creating even more leaders. By applying this
concept in your own leadership efforts, your team will flourish and everyone will benefit.
