Reflect on my path: 3 years ago, VIDEO

Lewisham Speakers club, Wednesday 

Reflections on your path

I got 3 commendations, missing, all loving how I told my story, somewhat it got cut out., only the recommendation remains. And yes, it is always useful to... but you will her it.

Path Completion, now

Finished my first Embrace Humor path a year ago, and again yesterday. Since, how to finish a path, changed. 

After login, and Go to Basecamp, we arrive to the new, blue base: Paths and Learning. Active: the Engaging Humor was first and I clicked at Open Curriculum. 

Strange, that Path is still called "curriculum" and we have to click on it and NOT on the path name, of course.

As it is always so, can get used to it.

I went to the Path Completion, as all 5 levels were finished, it did open for me. Then Activated, and Launched the Reflect on Your Path project, as for any project all along the different paths.

I have already read and knew the project, from other paths, before. Have prepared and delivered a story of 10-12 minutes (it was 11.8) title "three years ago".

3 years ago, day to day, I delivered a Reflect to your path, for the Visionary Communication, and learned for my first path a modesty lesson. I will download from zoom, cut and upload to youtube, and show it tomorrow.

After having delivered the story, I clicked on Assess your skills - before every point then on Assess your skills-After, finally submit and I got this signaling to basecamp, the project was finished.

I would be nice to get a "project finished" but instead we get just this. The last page telling "congratulation, you finished your project" is still there, and it still does not signify anything, as you can get to that last page, even when you did not finish and did not answer the Assess your skills-After, alas. One day, this will be changed too I hope, and we will be congratulated only if all is finished in basecamp. 

I looked for the certificate of proficiency, but what happened is the path disappeared from the Active folder. I did know where to look for it, in the Completed folder. Completed, curriculum, and voilà, the path appeared, I could go to "path completion" and see the Print Certificate. 

Well, not immediately. First, I had to ask the President, to approve my Completion request. He was still in our zoom meeting, and I could explain, this time he sharing his screen, how a Basecamp manager approves a level (or a path), by clicking on GREEN not on read. 

While it is Launch written on the button, as before, under the Path Completion (then path name) it is written Status: Pending Completion Approval. Until the Basecamp manager approves it. So, if we look carefully, we can see that we have already asked to be approved.

Had to go to the Completed Paths folder, open, then open the EHumor Curriculum, go all the way down to find, finally the View Certificate! But I found it!

For those who do not know where to find the Certificate of Proficiency, from now on, and it is new, it was the first time for me, we get an email from TMI explaining how to get it and where! Look at the second paragraph which explain it - for the first time ever - almost well, in the email.

Here is the Certificate, I got it the second time, now. Will have to write in another post how important it is to look at the transcript, to know which project you went through in a path, - before buying the same path again. As when we buy again a path, already done, the old path all traces alas disappear. Even if the Award, if declared in Club Central of any club, remains between your awards.

Pathways discussion forum, Facebook

 If you are not yet, come and participate to the closed group, called Pathways Discussion Forum. Any toastmaster who answer the three questions (last is the name of the club) can become member.

It is Not for advertising meetings, it is to discuss issues relative to pathways. A place worth visiting.

I have been there from day one, when we were only three, now thousands come and get answers, offer advices.
