This interactive and reflective session is designed to lay the groundwork for transformative conversations that foster better relationships\, leading to a community of loyal stakeholders. \nWhen we lead with story\, we build engaged teams\, more loyal clients\, and better communities. \nHelp your leaders communicate to connect\, engage\, and influence action. This workshop experience is tailored to encourage reflection and collaboration. \nWho is this webinar for? \n\nPurpose-driven organizations who want to increase engagement with their stakeholders. (better fundraising\, increased revenue)\n\n\nOrganizations who want to give their people the skills to influence action and elevate their impact.\n\nWhat value can I expect? \n\nWhen attendees are committed to applying what you’ve learned\, you can put your new story and communication skills to work immediately.\n\n\nMore effective communication with your teams\, donors\, and volunteers.\n\n\nImproved community-building skills.\n\nAbout the presentor\nLisa Gerber is a story strategist and communications expert who works with teams to use the power of story effectively through workshops\, strategic planning\, and one-to-one coaching.
