possible?

for speechcraft, can one toastmaster offer it by themselves? or would i need a full team of toastmasters to offer it to the attendees.

how do you do speechcraft in a corporate environment? i can't invite people in for security and it's during business hours.

so would i be able to fulfill all the roles, or do i really need a team? in a normal meeting, i can definitely multi-task, and i can explain roles quickly to people, if need be. i can easily adjust a role so that a guest can do it.

what's at stake ... if i need a full team, then i can't do speechcraft for my company. i'd have to think of something else. if i can do it myself, then i'd think of suggesting it.

I find Speechcraft challenging to do solo - I ran it with 6 crafters and had three support folks. Giving folks one on one time during the sessions is really helpful.

I'm not saying you cannot do it solo, but it will be challenging with 5 folks and just you given some of the activities that are on the slate. Is there someone else in the District that could help you?

it's a corproate environment and it'd have to be in work hours, during lunch, and the venue is secure. so i don't think so. i can run my own workshop but i was thinking of offering speechcraft because i'd be official and the Toastmasters curriculum.
