Buddy Program
AUGUST 2022
AUGUST 2022
We all came to Toastmasters with a goal in mind. Some might want to get better at their English skills while others just want to make new friends. No matter what your goal is, you definitely need a community to help support you and a right approach to get you closer to your goal.
Well look no where else, because this Buddy Program is here to give you the motivation you need and activities with guidance that can accompany you on the journey of creating a new lifestyle habit, a better version of yourself.
New and seasoned members - all are welcomed! This program is a great way for everyone in our club to get to know each other. As buddies, you will grow and learn together as a team and also improve your own skills! Are you ready now?
To become a better version of yourself: learning how to form good habits and achieving them in a supportive environment. Last year's Buddy Team members joined speech contests and levelled up their confidence and friend circles.
How does the Buddy Program work?
Our Buddy Program - August 2022 is designed following Chi Nguyễn’s approach (she is a blogger, Youtuber, namely The Present Writer). In her blog, she shared to us the 3 key steps in this approach that had helped her to design her dream life.

Our program is designed with similar activities to Chi Nguyen’s approach to help you - our dear member to build your dream life and turn it into reality by breaking it into small actions and repeatedly doing it for 21 days. The detail program can be found HERE.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me (your VPM) for more information!
For the best Buddy Team and HCM Toastmasters experience, we have collected some common questions and answers to avoid confusion. You can find all the details here on this page, if you need further assistance, ask our EXCO Members too.
Can I choose my own Buddy Team?
You can choose members who you prefer to team up with in our Registration Form. Our VPM will consider a number of conditions including your preference and invite you to a suitable group.
How long does this Buddy Program last?
It lasts for 1 month, starting from August 8 to September 3, 2022. After this, our EXCO team will review the results and consider another Buddy Program based on members' feedback.
How many members are in one Buddy Team?
Ideally 3 members! Depending on the size of the club and registrations we will keep the Buddy Teams small enough to have room for both individual and group work.
I cannot keep attending all the Buddy Team meetings, what should I do?
It is okay if you can't attend all meetings. Please let your Buddy Team know in advance so they don't have to wait for you. If you have personal issues and want to quit the program, talk to VPM.
