Training and Speaking

“What happens if we invest in developing our people, and they leave?”

“What happens if we don’t, and they stay?”

The need to inform and persuade is increasing, but budgets aren’t. It’s time to build the skills of board members, executives and staff so everyone in your organization can tell your story– no matter how complex it is.

We’ve designed some very basic trainings to help anyone on your team improve their communication skills; we can also customize the content to advance your organizational goals. These classes are designed to be short, practical and affordable for 5-10 people at a time.
