[@btwells] A podcast from Trish Blackwelder, DTM, PDG — Episode 5 of 5
Part of my role as Pathways Chair was to manage the D3 Pathways Facebook page and user group. The thought of posting on social media made my stomach turn; it just makes me uncomfortable. So I knew my only solution was to venture into that digital space under an alter-ego using an email address of btwells. Little did I realize the ripple effect I’d now have to live with! Still, the risk will be worth it if my final steps to The Lazy Members’ Approach help other members enjoy their Pathways experience – Thank you for listening!

[@btwells] A podcast from Trish Blackwelder, DTM, PDG — Episode 4 of 5
My personal standard has long been that I will not ask someone to do something that I’m not willing to do myself. Each time I’ve prepared a Pathways presentation, it was based on things I’d experienced myself as I explored Pathways. I wanted to have personally tested anything I was going to suggest people do themselves. I thought it might be interesting to take a peek into how I learn.

[@btwells] A podcast from Trish Blackwelder, DTM, PDG — Episode 3 of 5
Well into my third and fourth Paths now, I was struggling to sustain my speaking pace. Leadership Paths are great for leadership skills, but not so great for speaking more frequently on the meeting schedule. That’s when it hit me…I was missing my old Competent Communicator manual. Good thing I’d already rediscovered how to recreate that experience in Pathways!

[@btwells] A podcast from Trish Blackwelder, DTM, PDG — Episode 2 of 5
Okay….I’m 100% onboard, but how do I make this work for me without a physical manual? It really came down to rekindling a great idea I’d put in place years ago, and getting one new thing in place that has made all the difference.

[@btwells] A podcast from Trish Blackwelder, DTM, PDG. Episode 1 of 5
The term “new normal” may well describe 2020 but even before the pandemic, I’d heard that term frequently used in a post-retirement sense. After supporting the district Pathways deployment for over three years, it was time to move on to my next step. But also having officially reached the “senior age bracket,” what would that “new normal” become in my Toastmasters journey? Four basic conclusions would help me define just that.
