Memorable Messaging: Conversations That Make an Impact
eLearning
Description
Your employees, volunteers, and board members are having conversations every day with patrons, funders, educational and community partners, policymakers, media, and other stakeholders... but are those conversations leading to action?
You want people to join, volunteer, donate, attend your programs and events, spread the word, collaborate, and more. How do you communicate your goals, achievements, and resources in a way that gets people emotionally engaged and excited about your offerings and your value to the community?
Information + inspiration + persuasion lead to action. Learn how can you ensure that your people are confidently and persuasively sharing their stories and making the connections between your work and the community you serve.
