The session will be led by Shawn Gold, Past District 21 Director and experienced adult educator, with an MBA, multiple DTMs, and a Six Sigma Black Belt.

This full-day workshop is based on Toastmasters International’s Speaker to Trainer program and will explore:

• Setting training objectives using gap analysis

• Creating lesson plans based on adult learning principles

• Selecting effective training methods

• Using facilitation techniques

• Evaluating training effectiveness

Participants will also have the opportunity to apply these concepts by delivering a short training session and receiving feedback in a supportive learning environment.

Whether you are interested in becoming a future Club Officer Trainer or simply want to strengthen your own leadership and presentation skills, this workshop offers valuable practical experience and professional development applicable both within and outside of Toastmasters.

Members who successfully complete the workshop may also have the opportunity to serve as future Club Officer Trainers during the 2026/2027 Toastmasters year.
