The Toastmasters Education Series |
|
|
|
As part of the upcoming
Pathways enhancements,
members will now engage more deeply with the
Toastmasters Education 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.
|
|
|
|
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.
