Division B - District 102 ( Previously 51 )
Club Officer Training 2 East Coast
Club Officer Training (COT) is one of the most profound acronyms in my Toastmaster life.
Throughout the years, COT had molded me into a better and effective leader.
When I was offered as the organizing chair for COT 2 by Division B Governor DTM
Meyyappa, I was worried wheter I'm able to execute the task due to my new portfolio at
my workplace. Nevertheless, I agreed as I sure of having helping hands whenever needed.
Prior to the COT 2 on 15 Dec 2012, pre-organising matters was performed by DTM Meyyappa by
securing Penapisan Toastmasters Club (PTC) to be the host for the event. Organizing COT is definetely a
challenge which I found very rewarding for me upon witnessing the east-coast club
officers actively participated in the training.
I liked the Moments of Truth session where new club officers learned about their roles and the existing club officers reviewed and re-strategise their club goals. A big “Thank you” goes to NurulSyahida from PTC for coordinating this COT.
Credit also goes to DTM Zaharah and Area B2 and B4 Governors (Ai Ling and Saw Bee) for their assistance. Thank you Division B and I hope East Coast COT will continue to help toastmasters in east-coast region.

Mentoring workshop By Sandra
He is a Professional Speaker, Master Trainer & Security Manager and many more in the list.
On Saturday (1/12/2012), he took some time off to facilitate the workshop where it serves to instil proper Leadership and Mentoring qualities into the participants.
The attendees first had an interactive ice-breaking session where EVERYONE gathered in a Circle and played “Monkey”. After all, when monkey sees, monkey then do. What a way to kick-off the session!
Facilitator Sandra mentioned that we learn through “VARK”. By means of Visual. Aural. Read/Write. Kinesthetic, where some people favour another learning means from the other.
In a one break-up session, teams were rounded to discuss who they deemed Mentor figures in their professional/personal life. Everyone gave their most heart-felt role models who portrayed many qualities of a true Mentor. That gave the session a true context on where Mentors can be found.
Common knowledge recognizes Coaches, Mentors, Counsellors & Leaders; but little did it elaborate on the differences they each hold.
“Coaches inspire & motivate”, “Mentors instruct & guide” were a few of many explanations.
Lastly, when he discussed about handling a Mentee, he proposed being “SMART” about it. The abbreviation spells (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-Bound) either wise a misunderstanding on expectation might occur.
Before the day was called to a close, he took many questions.
Overall, the 3 hour session was full of sharing and full of thought provoking life examples where the participants can take home and reflect.
Thank you Sandra for your Time and also Div B for hosting the occasion!

Message from LGET
"Usher the New Year with DCP Special" Education campaign is on!
The focus is on CLUB achievements:
* We wish to encourage our clubs to be at least "Distinguished" with 6 DCP goals, 4 of which
should be EDUCATION goals, by 31 December 2012.
Please take note that the District is not only concerned about meeting our District goals; we are
dead serious about the quality of our clubs and members.
Quality does not start with any campaign, nor does it end with any campaign.
The Campaign is aimed at encouraging our clubs and motivating our members to maximise
their resources, stretch their potential, to exceed all expectations.
* Bearing in mind the need for our Club Officers to be trained and equipped, in order to build our
clubs and nurture our members, we have included "Minimum 4 Officers trained at TLI-2" as
a criteria for clubs to qualify for the Campaign, along with the required education/ DCP goals.
YOU will be delighted to note that, under TLI-2, YOU, as a team, will address the progress of your
club performance; and collectively commit to giving your best to meet or exceed your club goals this term.
Do you know that, in order for the District to QUALIFY to become at least a Distinguished District,
40% of our club base (253) must be Distinguished Clubs?
As at 12 November 2012, 7.51% of our clubs are at least "Distinguished'. We hope that, by
end December, we have narrowed that gap a lot. Can we do it? Sure we can! Can we do it and,
at the same time, improve on the quality of our speeches, sure we can!
This, together with the current marketing campaign, should help District 51 move towards at least
a Distinguished District. Let's do our best!
Your club will be rewarded with the respective education Hampers, consisting of items that support
education and training for your club and members. What a wonderful way
to start your New Year!

Div B HSE Contest - Results
The Division B Humorous Speech & Evaluation Contest ended with a Bang! It was a great experience to be entertained by humorous speakers besides learning from insightful evaluators.
It was raining cats and dogs at 1pm,
however the rain has not dampened the toastmasters spirit to support the
Division B Humorous Speech & Evaluation Contest.
The food came in around 1.15pm. At around
1.30pm, there were already a good crowd waiting anxiously to support their
“Idol” or their Area Representative. The contest was called to order by
Toastmasters of the day, Yean Yi, at 2pm.
It was an interesting afternoon with a
plethora of speeches and evaluations. The audience were filled with laughter as
the Humorous Speech Contestant delivered their best humour. The Evaluation
Contestants gave their most critical analysis to help the test speaker, a
season toastmasters, NJ Singam, to improve on his speech. Judges were having a
hard time deciding who the winner is while role players were diligently playing
their roles.
At 4.30pm, the results were passed to the
Contest Chair by the Chief Judge, Lay Theng. It was the moment that everyone
was waiting for. Congratulations to….

Club Officers Training (COT) 1
East Coast Clubs
Venue: Mingstar
Hotel
It was the first
time that Lekor Toastmasters Club has play host for the Club Officers Training
(COT) in the East Coast. Lekor Toastmasters Club's Immediate Past President,
Sea Shin Tyun has been eager to be the host this time around as she believes in
bringing the benefit of Toastmasters to the people of Kuala Terengganu. The
training was held in Mingstar Hotel on the 5th August, 2012 from
9:15 am till 2 pm.
The COT team
consist of Division B Governor Meyyappa, Kak Zaharah Ibrahim, Area B3 Governor
Joyce Loh, Area B6 Governor Albert Chua, and Division B East Coast Coordinator
Burney Choo. The training was also graced by the presence of Area K1 Governor
Karu.
The participating
clubs for this COT consist of club officers from Lekor TMC, Kuantan TMC and all
the way from Kelantan, Magical Tanah Merah TMC.
COT 1's purpose
was to prepare the newly elected Club Officers in their various positions by
helping them to understand their roles and responsibilities. However, this COT1
was special. It was not only attended by Club Officers but for the very first
time, attended by guests who were not Toastmasters members. One of the guests
who attended the training was a singer, Anis Suraya.
Division B3
Governor Meyya started the training with his opening address followed by the
session, Charting a Course for Club Success. Subsequently, Kak Zaharah
conducted the session on “Motivating Achievement”.
After the
break-out session, Div B East Coast Coordinator took the opportunity in his
session, “Attracting New Members” to highlight to the guests the many benefits
of the Toastmasters program. Following that, Area Governor B3 Joyce Loh
explained in details how to do online submission. Division B Governor Meyya
conducted a special Evaluation Workshop before concluding the COT training with
his closing address.
It has been a
successful training with exco members having a much clearer understanding of
their roles and responsibilities and with 4 guests signing up as Toastmasters
member of Lekor TMC.
SAY IT RIGHT WORKSHOP BY LILY FU
11TH AUGUST 2012 AT 2.00PM AT
LEVEL 12, UPTOWN 3, DAMANSARA UTAMA, PETALING JAYA
At 2.00pm, the efficient SAA, Emil Anthony
summoned everyone to be seated. As the snacks were delicious, there were last
frantic efforts to finish the last bites on the plate. Then the charming MC,
Jennifer Pan, calm and sporting a sweet smile, invited the Organising Chair,
Albert Chua to say a few words and to introduce the star of the show, LILY FU.
As
the capacity crowd of 61 eager participants was there to see and hear her, Lily
jumped straight into action by asking how many versions of the English language
are being used in Malaysia. Answers like Manglish, Singlish, Queen’s English
and American English were heard. With vibrancy and full of vitality, Lily
sailed into the workshop proper stealthily and also dealt with some commonly
mispronounced words, vowels, diphthongs and consonants.
True
to her professional experience, her gestures, facial expressions, lip
synchronisations, positioning of the tongue, intonation, and crisp clear
pronunciations with a smiling face made the session highly enjoyable and
mesmerising. It was not a ‘hear me out’ 2 hour workshop but one that was full
of interaction, giggles and fun. As time passes quickly when one is gainfully
engaged, the workshop ended at about 4.30pm with a thunderous applause to a
highly informative and educational session.
Comments
like, ‘ fantastic presentation’, ‘highly enjoyable workshop’. ‘ opened my eyes
and ears’, ‘learned a lot’, ‘never knew that English is so lively’, ‘look
forward to attend more sessions’. ‘have to improve myself now’, ‘very
motivating and fun’, were some of the statements heard during the interval and
at the end of the event.
After
presenting Lily with a momento of appreciation, the Organising Chair heartily
thanked the participants for their attendance. He also gave his appreciation to
the organising team for making the workshop a thunderous success. The host of
the venue, Lafarge TMC was also complimented for their support.
Prepared by Albert Chua, Organising
Chair.
