YOU ARE THE “MENTOR OF THE MOMENT”

It's up to you to make the meeting a learning experience for the Speaker.

Before the Meeting

· CONTACT THE SPEAKER FIVE DAYS or more before the meeting: Find out three things:

1) Manual Project Number of the Speech

2) Individual objectives of the Speaker

3) If the Speaker needs any help or suggestions

· Remind the Speaker to bring his Manual to the meeting for you to fill out.

· Study the objectives of the manual project.

IF IT IS AN ADVANCED SPEECH AND YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MANUAL, ASK THE SPEAKER TO MAIL YOU A COPY IN TIME TO STUDY BEFORE THE DAY OF THE

MEETING.

If there are any problems, contact your General Evaluator and the Vice President of Education.

Upon Arrival of the Meeting

· Ask the Speaker for his Manual.

· Discuss any last minute concerns.

During the Meeting

· Sit where you can easily see the lectern.

· During your oral evaluation, do not read the questions off from the written evaluation portion and answer them one at a time. Remember that your oral evaluation is a "mini-speech". You have one and a half minutes to three and one/half minutes.

After the Meeting

Return the manual to the Speaker. Add verbal encouragement, especially if you were not able to cover everything in the oral evaluation.
