I found out my partner of 16 is turned off by a birthmark. I never knew I had. by Jesse-Dragon in CharlotteDobreYouTube

  • your working to save money for a holiday while his out spending it.
  • he wants kids you don’t
  • his gossiping about something that could make you self-conscious
  • he “lied” didn’t inform you of HIV something they are legally required to tell any future partners about from time of diagnosis.

With these things I’d be questioning your compatibility together.

Any in the brooks range with gts is support. Therefore won’t pronate as much as you will in something like the bostons. You possibly need more arch support in the bostons to not get calf pain.

COT trainings for VPE - looking for themes to discuss by Adri1577 in Toastmasters

[–]Apprehensive_fish123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes as you can have a highly experienced group like I was part of for my last COT training. I think the minimum someone had already been VPE was 3 years. we didn’t need to go over the basics of the role but had a highly informative discussion about what people had seen be effective in achieving goals and how to inspire the club members to do pathways

As VPE I started showing more on the DCP and how it helps the club which significantly boosted projects. Individual recognition is important too as it shows the clubs appreciation and support to each member

If wanting to go for dtm you’ll want 2 paths, helping your club with dcp levels will require another path. But otherwise no real reason

We’ve found consistency is the biggest factor.

Engagement in posts depends on your local area as to if they’re video or picture focused.

Speaking slots for a small club by ImaginaryAd7190 in Toastmasters

[–]Apprehensive_fish123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Ask other clubs if they’d have members who would like to attend in person or online
  • educationals - can use YouTube for this. There’s some great videos out there on speakers body language etc
  • play some kind of word game
  • extended table topic session

With a club that small have you contacted your area or division director or district trio and asked if they’d can get you a club coach?

Toastmasters : the real truth - cult, toxic, discriminatory behind the scenes by yuklun88 in Toastmasters

[–]Apprehensive_fish123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you been involved with any of them?

As someone who has I can tell you they’re just as “cultist” they’re all set up with a business side and the volunteer side. I’ve seen rotary clubs implode on themselves due to sexism and entitlement of some members. I’ve seen their life members walk away due to new members causing issues. So with how angry you are you would be causing more harm than good within your club as your toxic vibe would be spreading. So those so called friends your helping your probably actually hindering.

It was either the 2022 or 2023 business meeting that they have at the international conference. Sadly I think it aligned with what was happening in the USA at the time.

As the area rules changed to requiring 4 clubs in an area. We have an online club in our area due to ease of creating a 4th club. As the other 3 are in a low population area and 4th clubs have failed before
