Workshop Description
How clearly can you explain the impact your organization makes and can your entire team do the same?
In this two-session workshop, identify the communication challenges you and your team face most often and develop practical solutions to address them. Learn how to describe your organization’s impact in simple, powerful language that can be used in everyday conversations and across your messaging and communications. Explore how to create stories that communicate your organization’s impact and practice shifting from delivering an elevator speech to engaging in two-way conversations.
You’ll also explore the questions about your organization that are the hardest to answer and develop simpler, more effective messages to use in daily conversations and communications. The workshop includes an action plan to help get everyone on the same page when talking about your organization.
