10 Energizing Tips for Your Online Open House Meeting
You’d like to show the benefits of Toastmasters to the world, but you’re not sure how?
The Open House — a club meeting focused on external guests — might be an effective option.
Looking for some initial pointers? I’ve got 10 for you. Let’s begin!
1. Challenge Yourself
If you’re thinking, “why not just wait till we can meet face-to-face again”: Take it as a challenge to up your game. If you rock the online version — which is harder to pull off — doing it offline will be a piece of cake!
2. Endgame First
Why exactly do you want to do the meeting? New members for your club… I guess? Great. Maybe you’ll want to contact them after the meeting? What will your follow-up look like? Anything you need to do early on to ensure you get everyone’s email easily? Should you do anything in the meeting that will provide you with content for the email?
Stephen Covey was not kidding anyone when he said we should “Begin with the End in Mind”. The endgame will drive your preparation!
