Stop These Costly Communication Failures

Funders

Funders Who Don't Follow Up

Your development team makes great connections at events, but nothing converts to actual meetings or funding commitments.

Policy Makers

Policy Makers Who Don't Listen

You brief legislators and agency officials, but your recommendations disappear into bureaucratic black holes instead of becoming policy.

Partners

Partners Who Stay Uncommitted

You pitch potential collaborators who express interest but never move beyond exploratory conversations to actual partnerships.

Board Members

Board Members Who Can't Advocate

Your board stumbles through mission explanations at cocktail parties, missing opportunities to advance your cause.

Voice

Inconsistent Organizational Voice

Different staff members tell different versions of your story, confusing stakeholders and weakening your impact.

High Stakes

Wasted High-Stakes Moments

You meet the right people but can't articulate your value in brief encounters when it matters most.

What Leaders Are Saying

From Fortune 500 executives, nonprofit leaders to politicians, see how our training transforms communication capabilities in just 60-90 minutes.

Your Personal "Factual Nuggets System" Mastery Session

Unlike generic business coaching, this system is specifically designed for complex social impact work. In your private session, we'll identify your unique advantage and build your personalized persuasion framework.

1

Personal Advantage Discovery

Your Custom "Secret Sauce" Audit

We'll identify what makes your approach uniquely effective—whether it's your methodology, results, or innovation—and craft an opening that makes funders say "tell me more."

2

Sector-Specific Nuggets

Your "Concrete Evidence" Arsenal

Develop 3-5 powerful nuggets from your real work—specific times, places, numbers, quotes—that make skeptical funders believe your claims instantly.

3

Executive Clarity Statement

Your "One Takeaway" Formula

Distill your complex social impact into one crystal-clear statement that busy executives can remember and repeat to their colleagues.

4

High-Stakes Action Requests

Your "Specific Ask" Scripts

Craft multiple versions of direct requests for different scenarios—board presentations, funder meetings, conference encounters—so you're always prepared.
