Why did your Toastmasters leave? Much like an exit interview in professional
organizations, ask them for their valuable input. Ask them to share with you the strengths of the
club so you know what to continue Ask them to also share their least favourite item
about the club or if they could have changed 1 thing, what would it be?

A few weeks prior to the event, Toastmasters let the President know which manual they are working from and sign up for the challenge knowing that they will only have 24 hours to prepare their speech
President determines a subject matter that best suits the Toastmaster & their manual
24 Hours before the event, he/she emails topics to each speaker

It’s a great challenge for both experienced and new Toastmasters
If members don’ t know what to talk about, this is a great opportunity
It allows for emulation of potential real life events such as being asked to fill in for a work presentation a day before
Fosters an environment of trust and respect
