High-Performance Leadership (HPL)

High Performance Leadership Program

The best way to build leadership skills isn’t to read leadership books, attend training classes or watch instructional videos. While those methods can be helpful and necessary, the best way to develop as a leader is to test and grow your skills in the trenches—in the crucible of real-world leadership scenarios. That’s the essence of Toastmasters’ High Performance Leadership (HPL) program, in which you take on a practical project that enables you to hone leadership skills in areas like developing a vision, goal-setting, conflict management and teambuilding.

The Toastmasters Pathways learning experience includes a streamlined version of the High Performance Leadership (HPL) program. The Pathways HPL features worksheets to help with planning your project (with such categories as “budget” and “key deliverables”), marking your progress and holding team meetings with members of your guidance committee.
