This webinar is focused on pre-Pathways members but is open to everyone who wants to stretch beyond
the ordinary. Under the traditional program, finding a project to fit an existing speech was fairly easy. In

Pathways, members feel that the scope of the projects is too limited. They express that they are unable to
practice the presentations they really want to do. I plan to share a different perspective. In this presentation,
attendees will learn:

• Where to find projects to fit their presentations
• How to think beyond the standard project definitions (one size does NOT fit all)
• How to sculpt a presentation to fit within the standard project definitions
