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

After one staff member requested public speaking coaching, we learned that our entire staff of 5 would like training in this area. As a state-wide advocacy organization, our staff members are engaged in a variety of persuasive & presentational public speaking situations, including Board & Policy Council presentations, funder engagements and presentations at arts education convenings and retreats for our activists. We are open to both group coaching and individual coaching.

What we have in place
  • We currently have an eager staff, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a conference room at our Pasadena CA office, Zoom & Skype, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $14,900 , allowing us to get this valuable coaching for our team, which would otherwise be outside our current budget capability.

We are a statewide arts education advocacy organization working with a small but mighty staff to build equitable access to arts education throughout the State. This is the one area of professional development that would support and help to 'grow' every member of our team so that we can do this important work more effectively in a variety of venues and environments.
