SAA Eileen called upon the Grammarian Craig for WOD: "Profit" then introduced the TM Cherry. TM opened the meeting with 5 types of business engagement models and functions:
1. Marketing,
2. Outreach,
3. Assessing business needs,
4. Responding to business needs/requests, and
5. Evaluating Customer Satisfaction.
Then she asked everyone to name what business engagement meant to them. Everyone was delighted to share their understanding of business engagement. Eileen liked to know how the business engagement model can be applied to Toastmasters or vice versa. What a great question, Eileen!
Our Presenter Dan M. with his speech titled: Vibrant Corporate Clubs are our Future. His PPT focused on how to build and sustain vibrant Toastmasters programs in corporations including valuable tips and tricks. Although Eileen was Dan's silent Evaluator, Dan also welcomed everyone's feedback on his presentation. He often says that our Club is all about ensuring everyone becomes a better version of themselves after each meeting.
Richard joined us just in time to our role play game hosted by Dan:
Team 1: Craig to Eileen,
Team 2. Shiao to Richard,
Team 3. Dan to Cherry
Within each team, one played a TM District Dignitary promoting Toastmasters Club to a Representative of a medium size corporation. The conversation evolved with a goal to convince the corporate Representative to adapt Toastmasters into their corporation planning. We got to practise our convincing techniques and new skills on marketing Toastmasters better.
Our enlightening meeting was coming to an end while everyone was still excited to share their experiences from the role play game. Indeed, it was a fun and useful exercise!
At 9:03pm TM asked for the Timer Shiao and Grammarian Craig's reports. Immediately, a Christmas celebration at Edith/Morris' house became a hot discussion. Everyone with their Christmas spirit was already envisioning the laughs, friendship, drinking, foods, etc. It is indeed going to be another lovely and Christmassy night with our Lingo family.
With that, our meeting ended with a suggestion if we may start our Christmas celebration early at 6:00pm, friends and family of Toastmasters are welcomed to join us. More details will come from our planning team (Cherry, Shiao and Edith). Stay tuned!
