In Pathways, you can achieve an award after your first three
speeches. |
|
|
|
Meeting frequent milestones earns you badges, certificates and
letter and other honors. You can also give on line feedback
badges to other members of your home club - badges with
uplifting labels like Collaborative,
Innovative and Inspirational. |
|
|
|
At each level, you complete two to three projects, and when you
finish a level, you earn a digital badge and a digital
certificate. The awards are displayed in Base Camp, the
program’s learning management system. Every member has access to
Base Camp, whether or not you decide to work in Pathways online
or prefer to work with print materials. The awards are displayed

When you complete Level 3, 4 or 5 in a path, you can request a
letter from Toastmasters World Headquarters to inform your
employer of your achievements. And when you complete an entire
path, you earn the Proficient designation. For example:
“Toastmaster Margaret completed the Innovative Planning learning
path and is now Innovative Planning Proficient.” |
| |
|
Early Pathways users have responded positively to the digital
feedback badges. If, for example, you want to praise a member
for a particularly compelling speech, you can give that person
an Exceptional badge. Or let’s say you want to
applaud a new club member for overcoming fears to give a speech
for the first time—give them a Courageous
badge. |

| “I can already tell that these badges are
definitely morale boosters for both the giver and the receiver,
and they will go a long way toward keeping members engaged and
motivated,” says Savitha Setlur, DTM, a member of two clubs in
Northern California. |

Ching received Exceptional badges from fellow club members after
one of her recent speeches, along with comments praising her
enthusiasm and drive. At first, she recalls, she felt some
embarrassment at the “exceptional” label. But gradually she
allowed herself to appreciate the compliments. |
|
|
“I let my feelings of embarrassment subside,” she says, “and
transform into ones of pride and gratitude to my fellow
Toastmasters for recognizing my success.” |
