Manuals
All new members begin by receiving two basic
manuals: the Competent Communication and Competent Leadership manuals. You are
requested to complete the two tracks : the communication track and the
leadership track.You are encouraged to work toward awards in both tracks at the
same time.
Leadership Track
Learn to lead with
practical practice
Members working in the leadership track learn
and practice leadership skills by serving in club roles.
The Competent Leadership manual is the
core of the leadership track. It features 10 projects, which you complete while
serving in various club meeting roles. An evaluator will give you feedback on
each project, helping you to improve. When you complete the manual, you are
eligible for Competent Leader (CL) recognition. Complete the
CL
application in the manual and ask your vice president education (VPE) to
submit it online to World Headquarters. You'll receive a CL certificate and, if
you wish, World Headquarters will send your employer a letter about your
accomplishment.
Advanced Leader Program
After earning the CL award you can further
refine and develop your leadership skills by working in the advanced leader
program. Members working in this program are eligible for Advanced Leader Bronze

High Performance Leadership
High Performance Leadership features five projects offering
instruction and practice in such vital leadership areas as developing a vision,
goal-setting and planning, developing plans and strategies, and team-building.
It also gives you feedback on your leadership skills. The program may be
completed within your Toastmasters club, area or district, and even within your
company or community.
Perhaps you would enjoy taking on a project for your club or district while
serving as an officer or committee chairman. Or, if you are an employee or
supervisor in a business organization, you could do a leadership project related
to the needs of your organization. Other possibilities include projects for your
community, church, an association or professional group, or some other
organization. Your project can be almost anything, so long as it is legal,
ethical, and socially responsible, and your activities are not represented as
being endorsed by Toastmasters International.

it recognizes both communication and leadership skills. To be eligible for the
award a member must have:
- Achieved Advanced Communicator Gold award
(or achieved Advanced Toastmaster Gold award)

To apply for the Distinguished Toastmaster
award, complete the appropriate section of the

application and ask your vice president education to submit it online to
World Headquarters. You'll receive a plaque and, if you wish, World Headquarters
will send a letter to your employer about your achievement.
