On October 2nd,
a small and mighty group of Toastmasters met at St. Augustine’s Anglican Church
to bring new ideas to life (light). Distinguished
guests and District Director Glenn Walker were in attendance. Facilitator Melanie Kruger provided participants
with a quick overview of what ideation is, why it’s important and then dove
into two exercises to test their mental muscles through experiential learning!
Participants
generated new ideas through participating in various techniques to expand and go
beyond the regular, rational thinking brain to identify bigger picture, big
thinking ideas. Participants were split into three ‘star’ groups and covered
topics such as: best case scenario for District 99, creating a Toastmasters
elevator pitch, identifying what we know/don’t know, and accomplishing the impossible,
identifying how to double Toastmaster membership in Edmonton in one day. Some
mighty ideas here.
were delivered. A huge thank you to everyone for your participation
and to the volunteers who without your dedicated assistance, this workshop
would not have been possible. To access the results, resources, video (see slide 5)
and presentation, either check out Lingo’s website under public downloads or click
Guests are warmly welcome to attend our next meeting, “Quest
for Excellence” on October 16 at 7:00 pm at our usual location, Riverbend Retirement
Living by Revera (103 Rabbit Hill Court).
