<br>Subject: [MetroMembers] Could you please fill-out an evaluation form...for
yourself
<br>
<br>
<div dir=ltr>Dear fellow members,
<br>
<p>As the fiscal year of 2007 - 2008 has already concluded, I encourage
you to take sometime to reflect on your progress in the past year.
John C. Maxwell once said the following: "Experience teaches nothing, but
evaluated experience teaches everything". I believe in this statement
wholeheartedly, and you would benefit a lot from applying this statement
to your toastmaster career.
<p>The idea of a performance review has long been instilled in the corporate
world. If you work at a company, you would most likely have been
through a performance evaluation process, and the goal is to to understand
your areas of strength and development, so you can learn from the past
and set new goals for yourself to ensure continuous growth in the near
future. The same idea applies in Toastmasters. It is important
to understand how you did as a toastmaster in the past year, in order to
effectively plan for the current year.
<p>Here are a few questions you can ask yourself:
<p>- Did I set concrete goals for myself?
<br>- Have I achieved those goals? If not, what were the reasons?
<br>- What are my goals for the current year? Are they realistic based
on my commitments?
<br>- If there were one thing that I need to work on, what would it be?
<br>- How can I help someone else in this club?
<p>In addition to answering these questions yourself, I also encourage
you to work with your mentor to get his/her perspective on your progress
in the past year.
<p>I hope that you found the past year with Metrospeakers to be an enjoyable
and a fruitful one, and I hope that you find the next one to be even more
fulfilling.
<br>
<p>Take care,
<p>Kevin Wang
<br>Immediate Past President
<br>Metrospeakers Toastmasters Club - 4371</div>
