One Down, Onto the Next

I recently completed my first path, which I previously blogged about.  I had to choose a 2nd path as I work toward my second DTM and first on Pathways.

I selected it earlier as I wanted to continue to give speeches even as the projects got more specific as I got further along and harder to go a pocket speech with.  Based on the level 4 project that I did thinking it was going to help me complete my first path, I ended up selecting Dynamic Leadership.

However, nothing stops you from taking the assessment again to help you determine the best path for you or you can pick the path that is for the skill(s) that you want to learn.

I look forward to seeing what my second path reflection will be, but I know that it will be different because I'm working to stretch myself more.

How can you stretch yourself?

Base Camp Manager Training

When Pathways launched in February 2018 for my Districts, I wasn't in an official position that had access to Base Camp Manager.  One of the things that I noticed was having our launch moved up to February from May in December 2017, made it really hard to fully understand Pathways, even for someone like me who wanted to embrace Pathways. First, you had the struggles of people thinking that had submitted the request to move on only to later find out they never clicked "Submit" on the after assessment. Second, you had people missing the training that was offered by their Guides and Ambassadors or somewhat absent Guides and Ambassadors.  Overall, people just weren't interested in learning about Pathways when it first rolled out. Third, you have new members coming in and taking these roles (which is great), but with very few people that can actually help them, it's really hard for them to succeed. Unlike for the officer positions, there is no official basecamp m...

A Different Look at the Intro to Mentoring Project (Level 2)

One thing about Pathways is that you're doing an Introduction to Toastmaster Mentoring Project for each Path regardless of whether you are interested in the Pathways Mentor Certification or not and whether or not you've already completed it.  I've noticed that people are apprehensive about doing it because they're either afraid of sharing or just don't want to. Yes, the project wants you to talk about the time that you were a protege, but it doesn't say how much detail you have to go into.  One thing to remember is that everyone was at one point in time a protege. I recently completed my second time doing the project.  The first time I talked about how my speech and debate background ultimately got me involved with Toastmasters and my journey along the way.  My second speech focused on the concept of being voluntold (i.e. in the Toastmasters world, volunteered by someone else to do something), what it means and how it affected my Toastmasters journey.  Th...

Mentoring

One of my good friends and fellow Toastmasters has come up with a definition of DTM that I like (not D on't T ime M e): D estined T o M entor Part of mentoring is the ability to help people by understanding something that you see in them.  One of my favorite things to see is when people realize their potential and what I saw in them. During my time as an Area Director, Assistant Division Director, Conference Chair and Division Director, one of my goals was to find people who I saw something in and help enable them to take the next step. During this time, I've been privileged to see someone that I asked to be an Area Contest Toastmaster be a District Contest Toastmaster, a once Conference first timer become a Division Director-elect and an energic Toastmaster become the first person in her club to become an Area Director (and likely the first DTM from her club). The Pathways Mentoring program will just help further this and I couldn't be more excited to take advant...
