“If you have an important
point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever.
Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come
back and hit it again.
Then hit it a third time
- a tremendous whack.”
Winston S. Churchill |

Pathways Enhancements by Level Below is a comprehensive list of the new
requirements being added to Pathways this October as explained throughout
this document. To complete each level, members must complete all the tasks
below as well as their required projects in each level. Two levels have an
option for mentorship as a role. If a member hasn’t begun the Pathways
Mentor Program, it can be found in the Suggested Learning section of their
Base Camp home page once they’ve completed Level 2.
|
|
|
| |
|
|
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.
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
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 include beginning
and concluding speeches, impromptu speaking, and how to select a speech
topic. The information in these presentations supports growth in both
writing and delivery skills.
|
|
| |
|
| |
| |
* Table Topics Speaker must be completed before delivering an Ice Breaker speech.
** An introductory mentor is a member who unofficially supports new members by answering
questions and guiding them based on their own experiences. If a member hasn’t begun the
Pathways Mentor Program, they can find it in the Suggested Learning section on the Base Camp
home page once they’ve completed Level 2.
*** 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.

Important Next Steps for Your Club
As you prepare for these exciting enhancements, take the following steps to make sure your
club is ready. Share this information with members. Let them know that changes are coming
and they’ll soon have more opportunities to participate in your club. Let them know:
1. The enhancements will be added as the first item in each level. The section will detail all
requirements for the level and provide a place for the member to track what has been completed.
2. These changes will be available in English in the six paths currently available for purchase:
Dynamic Leadership, Engaging Humor, Motivational Strategies, Persuasive Influence, Presentation
Mastery, and Visionary Communication. They will not be available in legacy paths or translated paths.
3. Members working in legacy paths and translated paths are still welcome to complete meeting roles
and presentations from the Education Series.
4. Members working in languages available as part of the District Translations program can expect
minor changes to their processes. Members working in these languages access available translated PDFs
from the Resources page on Base Camp and use an English path to track progress. The English path used
for tracking progress will have the new content added.
|
| |
However, this content will not be translated until the District Translations team for that language
chooses to translate it. These members will need to mark the new sections complete when tracking
project completion in their path. You are welcome to require them to complete meeting roles before
marking their level complete. However, the Education Series are not currently available in any District
Translations language. Levels 3, 4, and 5 should be marked complete for members using District
Translations PDFs, even if they have not completed the Education Series presentations.
5. Projects currently required in each level of any path will not be changed. These can be reviewed in the
Paths and Core Competencies
document on the Toastmasters website. (Download a Copy
HERE).
6. These changes will not affect the progress any Toastmaster has already made. If a level has been
completed, the member will have the new content, but their progress will be unaffected.
|
| |
|
Familiarize yourself with the Education Series. If you aren’t familiar with
The Successful Club Series,
The Better Speaker Series, and
The Leadership Excellence Series,
now is a good time to review this content. Knowing what’s included and how much time is needed for
presentations will help you answer questions and prepare to include these in meeting agendas.
|
| |
|
Prepare to start tracking new requirements. Keep in mind that when approving level completions, you’ll now
have additional items to track. In addition to validating that the member completed all requirements for the
projects in their level, you’ll also need to confirm that they completed the meeting roles and Education
Series presentations listed in the chart above. Determine now how you’ll keep track of and validate these
items and ensure all officers in your club know the plan. As mentioned, you can ask members to track
meeting roles themselves using the Meeting Roles section on their profile.
