Several times a year we celebrate one of our members completing a level of a Toastmasters Speech Pathway. Last Week we celebrated 2 members!

Pictured above Georgia and Ryan hold certificates for completion of the Presentation-Mastery Pathway > level 1. This has required presentation of the first 5 formative speeches delivered to our audience. Kudos and good mahi to both of you!

Completing this certificate also signifies:

  • Their newfound eligibility to participate in wider cross-club competitions. Maybe you’ll see them at one soon!
  • The possibility they have to pick and partake in new pathways …. and master those too!

But what is a Pathway?

A Pathway (Presentation Mastery, in this case) represents a curated selection of assignments every Toastmaster is journeying through, to master a themed skill or set of skills as they present and evaluate various speeches. Each pathway has multiple levels, allowing the participant to advance through a wide range of assignments. Multiple pathways are available to be undertaken simultaneously. Heres some popular ones:

  • Team Collaboration
  • Persuasive Influence
  • Visionary Communication
  • Dynamic Leadership
  • Effective Coaching
  • Motivational Strategies

Any of these appeal to you? Come join us @ 12:noon 30 The Terrace (behind St Andrews Church).
