Webinar “Find your way into easy-Speak”: Wednesday, December 11th, 8:00 PM

Posted on 9th December 2013 by florian

The web-based tool easy-Speak allows Toastmaster clubs to automate our meeting planning and to track and support members’ development. The officers and a lot of member already make intense use of easy-Speak’s features to ease up our club’s planning.

easy-Speak can be very valuable for you and our club by

reducing the time we need to spend on planning in the end of every club meeting
giving our VP Education a central overview of requested speeches and meeting roles
avoiding the need to send out hundreds of information emails in order to coordinate our meetings
managing your past and future speeches.

After all, easy-Speak offers a lot of helpful features. But to start with easy-Speak might happen not to be too easy. Therefor, I will give a short 10 – 15 minutes webinar “Find your way into easy-Speak”.

Content:

During the course of the webinar I will demonstrate how to

Edit your user data (e.g. change your password)
view and print the agenda of upcoming club meetings
confirm your attendance to club meetings
sign up for a meeting role
request a speech

Venue:

Broadcast-URL: YouTube-channel or use the direct link to video
Date: December, 11th 2013
Time: 8:00 PM

I will give the webinar by a Google “Hangout on Air”. As this is limited to 9 viewers, I will broadcast the webinar in my YouTube-channel (a technical remark: the live-stream will have a delay of 30 seconds on YouTube).

Prerequisites:

All you need is

a web browser,
proper internet connection, and of course
easy-Speak account (If you have not yet received your login, please contact our VP Education)

Discussions and comments:

Unfortunately, there will be no Q&A session after the webinar. This is due to the limitation of Google Hangouts of only allowing 9 concurrent participants.

Hence, after or during the talk, please add your comments to this post. I will then try to answer the directly, or immediately afterwards.

Ice Breaker Meeting at Munich Toastmaster on 5th of November!!!

Posted on 24th October 2013 by Vlad

Let’s break the ice together!

Join us at this special meeting, where new and “old” members give ice breaker speeches.

Experience how long-term members deliver personal speeches after many years of membership.

And we will also break the ice in a less metaphorical way by serving (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) cocktails with lots of crushed ice. They will be prepared by our semi-professional Russian bartender Vladimir Shakhov.

Don’t miss out on this fantastic event, but come along and bring a friend!”
