this pitch needs to be adaptable for staff and board, used for advocacy and fundraising

What we have in place
  • We currently have new vision, mission, values and strategic plan, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have branding guidelines and robust site, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help

Testimonials

Our time with Carlos brought much needed clarity to our messaging. He took us on a journey and the result was absolutely amazing. His method of providing knowledge first and then collaboratively working on the elevator pitch really gave us the time to make thoughtful, intentional choice on language. He is a rhetoric super hero. Thank you so much.

Elevator Pitch Coaching Project

Our task on this project was to develop a new "elevator pitch" for the Council, and I think we were all very happy with the final deliverable. Working with Griselda and her Board was great. They are a patient, thoughtful and engaged group, and I would be happy to work with them again in the future.
