The Toastmasters Communications Series
 

As part of the upcoming Pathways enhancements, members will now engage more deeply with the Toastmasters Communication Series — a cornerstone of the organization’s legacy training materials. These classic series — The Successful Club Series, The Better Speaker Series, and The Leadership Excellence Series — have long provided practical, experience-based learning for members and clubs around the world. Their inclusion in Pathways will allow members to explore proven concepts that strengthen both individual skills and club success.

The Successful Club Series (Levels 3–5)

Beginning in Levels 3, 4, and 5, members will be required to deliver one presentation from The Successful Club Series. Each level will include a curated selection of topics to choose from, allowing flexibility based on club needs and member interests.

*** Completing a specialized role allows you to fill a role that is specific to your club or a unique situation. For example, your club may have an Online Moderator role, or there may be a circumstance where someone is needed to manage visual aids for another member.
 

In Level 4, members will be introduced to The Better Speaker Series. One presentation from this series will be required, and Toastmasters will be free to deliver any of the 10 titles. Topics in this series include beginning and concluding speeches, impromptu speaking, and how to select a speech topic. The information in these presentations will support members in growing their speech writing and delivery skills

Please note: The Education Series presentations are expected to take 10 to 15 minutes to present, which is longer than a typical speech. Keep this in mind when scheduling each club meeting, as this may affect the content and timing of the meeting. Pathways Enhancements by Level.
