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
What we have in place
  • We currently have a PowerPoint we use in our Orientation with clients, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have various marketing materials developed by United Way Bay Area, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,160 , allowing us to continue to provide invaluable free services to the communities of Contra Costa County.

As Senior Director, I represent SparkPoint Contra Costa in the community. We had some major cuts in funding this year so I need to be able to speak with potential funders about our accomplishments and needs. Our message needs to be very compelling.
