Pathways

By Praveena Raman

In the 2020-2021 Toastmasters year the following three presentations were presented at our club.  All these presentations (video and slides) can be accessed on City Speech TM website under Member Resources (log in required).

  • Pathways to your Goal: an introduction to the Pathways program (article).  Presented on October 27, 2020.
  • Pathways: Ready! Set! Go! (Pathways Lightning Talk series): builds on the introduction and covers logging into Base Camp and selecting a path
  • Pathways: Beginning the Climb! (Pathways Lightning Talk series): covered the levels of a path, the projects from start to finish and tips for the climb towards your goal.

I would like to invite you to participate in the Pathways Lightning Talk series and share your experience with projects on your path (at any level), which projects were attractive to you, did you tie your projects to your path and lessons learned. 

Michael Gwinner has shared with us a graph (current as of February 16, 2021) showing the number of members you have either started or planning to start on a given path.  The graph also shows which paths (of the 11 paths) have been chosen and how many members are on a given path.

 

As you can see Presentation Mastery is very popular among City Speech Members.  With nine members who have chosen this path, all of you can have path buddies and/or mentors to help you reach your goal.  You can brainstorm together as to how to tie your speeches specifically to your path and maximize your learning as you reach your goal.  As a bonus here is an article about the path The Path to Presentation Mastery: Educational projects help you become an accomplished speaker published in the March 2019 issue of Toastmaster.
