Demystifying the Pathways DTM Project

Have you identified your Pathways DTM project? It’s not as mysterious or complicated as some may think. It may be a project to benefit your club, your

area, your division, or your district. Or, it may be a project to benefit another organization. And it can be an incredibly fulfilling learning experience! Below,
seven pioneering Pathways DTMs share about their DTM projects.

Julie Kertesz - D91 (UK South) and District U, Pathways
Ambassador and Pathways Guide, Master Storyteller,
Standup Comedian

Project: Pathways StorySwap Online, a series
of Pathways storytelling events focusing on
experiences with Pathways. Storytellers shared
their Pathways success stories, their initial

problems and how they were resolved, and what
they liked about Pathways. Some events were
held within clubs whilst other events were held
in multi-club online events.

Organization: Toastmasters worldwide
Benefits: By sharing about their Pathways
experiences, storytellers reinforced their own
learning and engagement. By listening to the

stories, many were encouraged to start on
Pathways. This project created a sense of global
community among members from all over the
Toastmasters world. Julie’s online club Witty

Storytellers Online was one hundred percent
enrolled on Pathways months before the official
rollout.
Insight: One person can create an experience

that will have far-reaching ripple effects.
