| CORE
COMPETENCIES: It is important to note that each
member using Base Camp will have the opportunity to select from
many electives to extend their learning. With the addition of
electives, members have the flexibility to cover all core
competencies within each path. The five core competencies are:
Public Speaking, Interpersonal Communication,
Strategic Leadership, Management
and Confidence. Confidence is unique because it
cannot be taught, but is gained in every path.
|
| |
| Public Speaking: builds
members’ confidence in delivering both prepared and impromptu
speeches in the Toastmasters club environment as well as their
personal and professional lives. Through practice and peer
evaluation, members learn how to present their messages
effectively, concisely and professionally. This competency
provides tools that members can use to learn prepared and
impromptu speaking skills. |
| |
| Interpersonal Communication:
builds members’ confidence in communicating with others, whether
verbally, non-verbally, in writing or via electronic methods.
Members learn how to build relationships, resolve conflict and
communicate well with others. This Toastmasters competency
teaches members to effectively interact with others at any
level, from guests to members and leaders at the club, area,
division, district levels and beyond. |
| |
| Management: While a person
may be both a leader and a manager, there is a difference in the
skill sets needed for these roles. Within the Toastmasters
organization of clubs, areas, divisions and districts, managing
deals mostly with planning, organizing and facilitating specific
tasks (such as the club treasurer managing the club’s budget).
Managing also deals with people, whether they are individuals or
groups. Managers build camaraderie and teamwork and empower
members to learn and grow through the Toastmasters education
program. |
| |
| Strategic Leadership: Every
club, area, division and district needs a strategic
leader—someone who sees the big picture and has the ideas and
vision to do things better, whether it’s build a more supportive
club environment, lead a team, or attract and retain more
members. |
|
| The Toastmasters strategic leader has a
vision that is both attainable and inspiring. He or she is able
to bring about positive changes by inspiring others to get
involved and help in the effort to reach common goals. |
|
| Building Confidence: In
Toastmasters, one of the many ways that members develop
confidence is through self-reflection. Through self-reflection
and evaluation, members learn to acknowledge their flaws and
embrace their capacity for self-improvement. By learning how to
set goals and meet them, they gain confidence in their own
knowledge, skills and abilities. |
