When I first signed up for Pathways, I took the test on the Toastmaster International site to help
me choose my path. They made a suggestion, but I wasn’t convinced. I took the time to research,
and ultimately picked Strategic Relationships. This was a great choice for me, as I am the President

of a non-profit organization. While the group and our funding are small, it still gave me plenty of
opportunities to apply my path. Now I am enrolled in multiple paths, and mentor club members
when they need guidance in Path selection.
• What is the major emphasis for each Path?

• How do Levels 3, 4, and 5 differ in each Path?
• Going beyond the minimum requirements.
• High Performance Leadership awareness.
• Benefits of multiple Paths.

• Does my choice really matter?
