Role of a Table Topics Master

Taking on this role improves organization skills, time management and facilitation skills.

The Topicsmaster delivers the Table Topics^® portion of the meeting, which helps train members to quickly organize and express their thoughts in an impromptu setting. As Topicsmaster, you:

• Select topics in advance of the meeting that allow speakers to offer opinions.
• Give members who aren’t assigned a speaking role the opportunity to speak during the meeting by assigning impromptu talks on non-specialized themes or topics.
• Don’t ask two people the same thing unless you specify that it is to generate opposing viewpoints.
• In clubs presenting a Best Table Topics speaker award, ask members to vote for the best Table Topics speaker.
