Public Speaking Coach

Project details

What we need
  • Personalized feedback and up to 5 coaching sessions with one member of the Organization
  • Document outlining strengths, weaknesses, and suggested next steps and/or resources for the member
Additional details

I'm specifically interested in the refinement and delivery of:
1. Internal all-volunteer audience (prospective and current volunteers) - change management messaging; and
2. External audience - capacity building (partnerships, sponsorship, fundraising, advocacy and branding.)

What we have in place
  • We currently have a description of new operating model, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a dedicated Board member (me), and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,460 , allowing us to create community-driven exhibits.

Our new operating model will result in increased opportunities to partner, market educational products, and create targeted donor/sponsor funding opportunities for those interested in participating in our community-driven approach to collecting, conserving and sharing the story of African-American firefighters. This project will hone skills that allow me to efficiently/effectively listen, develop messaging and reach more diverse audiences.
