"Moments of Truth" might sound like some crime-drama, but it's actually a very effective tool for improving your club's condition in several key areas. In this lesson, you'll learn what it is, why you should use it, and how to use it for maximum effectiveness.
2. Why MoT?
What's the point of using MoT? If your club uses the program effectively, you'll find that:
- Getting new members is easier. This means your club will achieve membership growth DCP points and have all the benefits a strong club has, like less doubling up on roles, more variety, and more fun
- Retaining members is easier, which means your membership will be more stable over time
- Meetings will be more organized, which means more fun and less stress
- You'll have more varied and engaging meetings, plus outside the club events, to help maintain interest and motivation strong
- Because they've been given the training and confidence to succeed, newer members will step into roles sooner rather than later, lessening the learning curve they have
Note the "if" statement above. It's very easy to have a session about MoT from time to time, collect suggestions and discover pain points, but then sit on these and not follow through (this can happen for a number of reasons). By following this section, you'll discover not only what to look for to improve, but also how to plan and execute so these gaps are effectively addressed and closed.
