Training matters more. When you have the opportunity to train, you get the opportunity to make a deeper impact on someone.

What's the difference between a trainer and a speaker?

Speaker = Goal = Inspire and Entertain
Trainer = Goal = Change of Behaviour
Trainers make a deeper impact!

Want to be known as the best trainer in your area? Then come along to TIF Toastmasters club to learn the secrets of effective training through speeches, training sessions and training games. Our meetings are highly interactive and fun!

Did you know there are thousands of more training positions than speaking spots?
Did you know many of the best keynoters in the industry started off as trainers?

Thursday, 15 February Meeting: Do you know how to give a proper conclusion to your training session? Do you just summarise your main points? Learn how to give an interactive ending to your training session; it's a way for  participants to review the content they've just learnt and for the trainer to find out what they've actually learnt.

Our meetings

Our meetings consist of:

• Speeches
• Training sessions
• Table topics
• Training games
• Evaluations

Speeches
Prepare and deliver speeches based on the projects in the Toastmasters Pathways program. There are 10 different learning paths. Select a path that best meets your needs, interests and goals. Each of the 10 paths are unique:

• Dynamic leadership
• Effective coaching
• Innovative planning
• Leadership development
• Motivational strategies
• Persuasive influence
• Presentation mastery
• Strategic relationships
• Team collaboration
• Visionary communication

You'll get valuable feedback on how to improve, along the way. Learn more about Pathways and the right path for you.

Training Sessions
As a trainer you have an awesome responsibility, not only to present information but also to change people's behaviour. Learn how from training sessions delivered at each meeting by experienced members of the club. The sessions are interactive and hands on. It's a great way of learning effective training through participation and doing. We also regularly get guest speakers to educate and entertain us throughout the year.

Table Topics
Uncomfortable thinking on your feet and giving an impromptu speech? With Table Topics, you'll get practise on giving 1-2 minute answers on a topic without any preparation. Questions are normally fun and answers can be quite entertaining. It's an enjoyable way to learn this valuable skill in a supportive and encouraging environment.

Training Games
Any speaker wanting to engage with their audience, needs to involve their audience. Training games encourage active participation and provide an alternative platform for delivering a concept or idea.

Evaluations
It is through feedback that you will learn how to improve as well as discovering your strengths. Everything in our meeting is evaluated including speeches, table topics, training sessions, training games and the overall meeting. You'll also learn how to evaluate; the better the evaluator you become, the better speaker you become and vice versa.
