Training sessions
At the core of this training day were three workshop sessions, which triggered many interesting discussions among officers from different clubs:
- Parliamentary Procedure by TM Akira Saito: a hands-on introduction to Henry M. Robert's Robert's Rules of Order, a system of rules for managing large meetings (more than 12 participants) which has been successfully and widely applied, at least in the USA, since the 19th century;
- How to Build the Best Club Climate by TM Nicholas Johnson and TM Ruskyle Howser (resp. current and past presidents of the Tokyo Toastmasters Club): a discussion on the different styles of Toastmasters club meetings, and especially on the level of formality ("fun vs. organization") which should be adapted by a club's officers to meet the needs of members;
- Mentoring Program by TM Toshi Yada: an introduction to the programs and mentoring material provided at the Minato-Mirai TM club, and a group discussion about the mentoring issues and solutions found in clubs.
