If you’re ready to give a speech, you’re ready for Pathways Level 1. Level 1 teaches you the fundamentals of giving a speech and how to get better in Toastmasters. Here are the projects designed to introduce you to speeches:

• Ice Breaker
• Writing a Speech with Purpose
• Introduction to Vocal Variety and Body Language
• Evaluation and Feedback

The Ice Breaker

An Icebreaker is the perfect speech for a new member. Why struggle on deciding a speech title, when you can talk about yourself? Giving an icebreaker speech will ease you into the club.

The fundamentals

Now that you got your feet wet, you can start learning about fundamentals.

With Introduction to Vocal Variety and Body Language, you become aware of how these add to presenting a great speech. With awareness, you get to learn to practice and incorporate these skills in your speeches and presentations.

With Evaluation and Feedback, you’ll learn how Toastmasters help each other improve. It’s already a given that feedback will assist you in approving your skills. But can you deal with harsh feedback when it’s meant to help you?

In Toastmasters, you don’t only receive feedback but learn to give it to others. You learn how to become the person who applauds accomplishment and encourages growth. Just like Master Miyagi in the Karate Kid. Except clearer.

Repeat again for every Pathway

If you repeat a pathway, you’ll always return to level 1. Why? Because Level 1 serves not only to teach but remind you of the fundamentals. No matter your level, you will always rely on the fundamentals.

The fundamentals will elevate your speeches. Engage people with well organized content. Bring your audience into your presentation your audience with your voice and body. To not only know how to learn but to teach others as well.

This is what it means to be a Toastmaster.
