Rotary Training Talk | |
| | New Rotary year | | As we begin
2010-11, Rotary Training Talk would like to acknowledge all the
Rotarian trainers who deliver outstanding service. You develop and
encourage
the future leaders of this organization, and we thank you. |
| Now online | | A
new e-learning module is now available. Member Access:
District Grant
Application, the latest training resource on The Rotary
Foundation Future Vision Plan, is a tutorial that guides district
leaders in
completing the application for a district grant and submitting it to the
Foundation online. |
| Webinar training at Convention |  This year's convention was another success.
Nearly
300 people attended the webinar workshop, and a related workshop titled
"How to Tell about Your Club's Projects Digitally" was also popular.
Webinars are becoming a trend in training. If you are thinking of
holding one, be sure to visit www.rotary.org/trainers to
read helpful tips on web conferencing. |
| Rotary Coordinators are here to help | | Forty-one
Rotarians have been appointed to serve as Rotary coordinators. Similar
to the former regional
Rotary International membership coordinators, they can provide guidance
on membership, but they are also considered a resource for all things
Rotary.
Know who your Rotary
coordinator is, and keep that person in mind for
district training needs. |
| Your Voice, Your Solution |  Your club is a
good club, but you don't feel it is reaching its full
potential. You'd like it to be bigger, better and bolder. What are some
innovative ideas you could present to your club? Add your
solution.
Last month, many of you contributed your
solutions to the problem of members not extending fellowship to each
other beyond club meetings. Read your
colleagues' suggestions.
Rotary International's online
problem-solving forum
gives Rotarians the opportunity to exchange solutions and ideas. At the
end of the month, you and your fellow Rotarians will have generated a
collection of best practices
that can be used by club presidents for years to come. |
| District governor-nominee
training |  Materials are available online for governor-nominee training. If
you are a trainer and have been asked to train governors-nominee, the Governors-nominee Training Seminar Leaders’
Guide is for you. This leaders' guide offers six
suggested sessions with interactive activities. Topics include
governor-nominee responsibilities, financial management, and planning
for the district
conference. Governors-nominee
can familiarize themselves with topics related to their role
through an online
manual as well as a workbook,
which
they can complete individually or print out and bring to their training.

new online materials. |
| New zone-level district training program
materials available | | Training
district trainers this year?
Rotary International has materials for you, including a new leaders'
guide, revised
slides, and the updated District
Training
Manual for participants.
The leaders’ guide includes sessions on the role and
responsibilities of district trainers, the leadership development
training cycle, planning training meetings, and web conferencing. The
district
trainer program focuses on the skills needed to be an effective Rotary
trainer and is an opportunity for district trainers to share their
experiences
and knowledge with others. |
| Be part of Rotary e-learning | | Are you a
highly active member of your club, or do you know another
Rotarian who is? The Leadership Education and Training Division is
updating the How to Get Involved in Rotary e-learning
module and is
looking for volunteers to contribute and to feature. The module
highlights one Rotarian from each continent, including each person's
ideas for getting
involved and motivating othe club members. If you would like to
participate, please contact training.talk@rotary.org. |
| Training tip |  Consider
brainstorming with your training team, or your district or club
leadership team, about the next Rotary year. Think about how you will
generate new ideas. Consider having your team members write down their
suggestions before brainstorming verbally. Writing instead of speaking
allows
individuals' thoughts to flow freely, without interruption. It can also
allow people to contribute equally if you have quieter or more outspoken
individuals. As participants begin to share their ideas, be ready to
record new ones that are generated
verbally. |
