CORE COMPETENCIES: It is
important to note that each member using Base Camp will
have the opportunity to select from many electives to
extend their learning. With the addition of electives,
members have the flexibility to cover all core
competencies within each path. The five core
competen-cies are: Public
Speaking, Interpersonal
Communication, Strategic
Leadership, Management and Confidence.
Confidence is unique because it cannot be taught, but is
gained in every path. |
|
|
|
Public Speaking: builds
members’ confidence in delivering both prepared and
impromptu speeches in the Toastmasters club environment
as well as their personal and professional lives.
Through practice and peer evaluation, members learn how
to present their messages effectively, concisely and
professionally. This competency provides tools that
members can use to learn prepared and impromptu speaking
skills. |
|
|
|
Interpersonal Communication: builds
members’ confidence in communicating with others,
whether verbally, non-verbally, in writing or via
electronic methods. Members learn how to build
relationships, resolve conflict and communicate well
with others. This Toastmasters competency teaches
members to effectively interact with others at any
level, from guests to members and leaders at the club,
area, division, district levels and beyond. |
|
|
|
Management: While a person may be both
a leader and a manager, there is a difference in the
skill sets needed for these roles. Within the
Toastmasters organization of clubs, areas, divisions and
districts, managing deals mostly with planning,
organizing and facilitating specific tasks (such as the
club treasurer managing the club’s budget). Managing
also deals with people, whether they are individuals or
groups. Managers build camaraderie and teamwork and
empower members to learn and grow through the
Toastmasters education program. |
|
|
|
Strategic Leadership: Every club, area,
division and district needs a strategic leader—someone
who sees the big picture and has the ideas and vision to
do things better, whether it’s build a more supportive
club environment, lead a team, or attract and retain
more members. |
|
|
|
The Toastmasters strategic leader has a vision that is
both attainable and inspiring. He or she is able to
bring about positive changes by inspiring others to get
involved and help in the effort to reach common goals. |
|
|
|
Building Confidence: In Toastmasters,
one of the many ways that members develop confidence is
through self-reflection. Through self-reflection and
evaluation, members learn to acknowledge their flaws and
embrace their capacity for self-improvement. By learning
how to set goals and meet them, they gain confidence in
their own knowledge, skills and abilities. |
