The Toastmasters International
Competent Leader Program
Toastmasters
International offers two educational tracks - the Communication
Track and the Leadership Track.
You can work in both tracks at the same time.
You must complete both tracks in order to
earn the ultimate Toastmaster distinction, the Distinguished
Toastmaster award.
Leadership education helps you personally
because leadership skills are used in all areas of life,
including career, family, and community involvement. Development
of leadership skills will increase the pace and scope of
your personal development.
Leadership education helps our club in many
ways as well. The Competent Leader manual trains you in
the basic skills necessary to perform the functionary roles
that make our meetings interesting and on time. By providing
this information to you as a new member, the CL manual will
decrease your stress as you tackle each functionary role
for the first time.

- Listening
