What are Your Goals
for this Charter Year?

Paul Scharf, DTM, District 83 Governor

Create your own doors of opportunity

Don’t wait for someone to tell you when to speak or when not to speak, when to lead or when to follow.

Your mind is your limit

The only thing that stops you from succeeding is your mind and the will to take the next step. Make the next speech. File for that Competent Communicator, Advanced Communicator and Competent Leader Award. Become the communicator and leader you want to be.

Make your own opportunities

Do you know where the closest club is to your home? Where the closest club is to your place of work? Visit them and ask them to put you on the agenda to speak. Ask them to assign you to a duty position.

Your public speaking and communication success depends on the completion of your speeches

After the Competent Communicator Manual, there are 75 more reasons and opportunities to speak from the Advanced Manuals. As you complete these projects you will develop the communication skills you want to achieve.

Your leadership success depends on your involvement in your roles within your club

The Competent Leadership program gives you 21 opportunities to hone your leadership skills.

Become a club officer

There are 7 officer positions in your club. Beyond the club there are at least 7 district officer positions available. How many Committee Chairs can you name? The ability to grow as the leader you want to be is endless.

What are your goals for this year?

Write down your communication goals. Write down your leadership goals. Then tell your club members about your goals. Don’t keep it a secret. Each member of District 83 is here to assist you. Reach your goals and you will succeed. Your Club, your Area, your Division and District 83 will also succeed and you will become the communicator and leader you want to be!

It Just Takes Practice
There is an old joke about a violinist on his first visit to New York City who finds himself lost and late for rehearsal. So he asks a police officer, "How do I get to Carnegie Hall?"

The policeman answered: “Practice, practice.”

You may laugh at this story, but you know the truth: Practice is essential for whatever you want to get better at.
