I just completed my Toastmasters Pathway on level 4 this week. I’m very excited to share this accomplishment 🙂
Toastmasters Innovative Planning – Level 4 Toastmasters has helped me greatly hone my public speaking skills. The program has taught me more than just public speaking but also skills in leadership.
The Toastmasters Pathway that I am enrolled in helps hone my Project Management skills in the public speaking domain.
My Pathway project is delivering a modern, mobile responsive, website. Follow the development of the new website here.
