Fellow Toastmasters, does your club face challenges of adding new members? Is your meeting attendance low? Do you wonder why guests do not return?
The answers to these questions, and many more, lie in an underutilized tool known as “Moment of Truth”, the very best of Toastmasters learning tools.

In this 1-hour interactive session, you’ll learn

What is MoT?
How to plan and Organize a MoT?
Benefits of conducting MoT in your home club?
Easy tools and tips to revamp your club for growth
Q&A

Please join us! Learn about the tool, apply it to help your club succeed, then take the skills to solve real life problems
