#12 The Pathway

Toastmasters runs on Pathways, an education system that features various projects focused on speaking and leadership skills. Pathways is integral to every Toastmaster's journey and is also a key part of TGIF and Born to Shine's Story. Although this system has been going for several years now, Joe and Paul still need some advice on how to get the most out of it, which is why they've invited Patsy Wu to the show to help them figure it out! About Our Guest Patsy Wu is the Pathways Chair of District 67 (Taiwan) and builds excitement for learning through this program with her slogan, "Pathways, on the way!"
