Relevance for Toastmasters !I believe that Choice Theory y explains p why people join, stay and/or leave Toastmasters and that we should keep this in mind when planning activities at all levels within the organisation.

Choice (Control) Theory
! These basic needs are thought to be innate (we are born with them). ! We choose all that we do and we are responsible for the choices we make. ! The needs drive our choices and influence how we behave in those choices. 5

Implications for TMI • We need to constantly work as a District/Division/Area/Club to ensure that member member’s s basic psychological needs continue to be met if we hope to retain them for longer than at present.
5
Reframe and Inspire with Passion
Balanced Meetings We need to plan Club Meetings that are balanced i.e. have elements of all four basic psychological needs incorporated, and in that way the meeting will be need need-satisfying satisfying and all attending will grow and develop.
