RECRUITMENT TOOLS:
A New Look at Table Topics
by Melissa Neofes Mischak
|
Recently, I had the
opportunity to do a little preaching, if you will, about the value
of Toastmasters. After being asked about my favorite segment of the
meeting, without hesitation I said, "Table Topics".
Not only have I benefited from the practice that Table Topics
allows, but I have found Table Topics to be an important recruiting
tool. Here are my Top Ten (thanks Mr. Letterman) Table Topic
benefits for you to share in recruiting new membership:
10. Provides you with the confidence to network in social and
professional situations.
9. Sharpens your "on the spot" presentation
skills.
8. Enables you to focus your thoughts to create a
sound, tight message.
7. Gives you the ability to overcome the fear of public
speaking in a fun, light-hearted manner.
6. Creates an arsenal of usable information for work or
play.
5. Inspires creative thought.
4. Energizes your ability to handle difficult
situations.
3. Increases your marketability as you interview with
prospective employers.
2. Focuses your imagination to the possible.
1. Empowers you with the ability to engage in
meaningful conversation to connect you with countless professional
opportunities.
