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

As the VP of Philanthropy for our organization, I am going to begin facilitating online workshops using Zoom as our platform.
I am hoping to work on my presentation skills to make content delivery as clear and complete as possible using the constraints of an online platform and limited time.
My hope is to work with someone who can help me refine my skills delivering content to our constituents (mostly older with Parkinson's or another movement disorder) in a clear and concise manner.

What we have in place
  • We currently have communication engagement and marketing staff onboard, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have an online forum (Zoom), tech support and written materials, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $8,660 , allowing us to reach demographics effectively and significantly raise more fundraising dollars through bequests and strategic giving. It will also provide attendees with valuable information they need for planning.

Our goal is to clearly communicate the content we wish to communicate. Our first objective is to disseminate information on advance directives and the second is to present information on estate planning. This information is especially helpful for persons who need to know what information they should have in place for advance planning as well as information they could use to support our organization through a legacy giving program.

I absolutely loved working with Maureen, she's very receptive to the coaching and communicates whenever she cannot keep a scheduled meeting which demonstrates respect of time and professionalism.
