The Power of One

Much has been written about the power of ONE. Here I want to reflect on the power of one sheet of paper placed in one location by one Toastmaster.

Last Friday, in my capacity as VP of Membership, I handed out some flyers - just flat flyers flagrantly flagged to facilitate fraternal furtherance of Federal Toastmaster - invitations to our meetings.

Everyone left with a small stack. Someone placed some in a real estate office and that afternoon I received 1 phone call from a woman looking for a Toastmaster's club. Our time doesn't really work for her, but she may visit. However, she WILL join a club somewhere in Fresno.

That was the result of 8-9 members taking several flyers each and passing them out.

Now - what if we continued and multiplied that effort and added persons invitations to the mix. Our results would multiply and we would - no WILL - find people for whom our meeting time and place is perfect - people like us who enjoy the camaraderie of am organization like ours and value the opportunity to learn and grow.

One leads to another one and to another one and another and another.
