CORPORATE MESSAGING FOR COMMUNICATORS 5 Months | Online Learning | Live Monthly Mentoring
I thrive on big picture thinking and have seen how doing so has helped me position myself as a trusted advisor with clients, demonstrate the power of public relations to have broader impact on organizations, and increase revenue!
I want that for you, too!
I created this program because messaging and target audiences are the two most critical pieces of any communications plan. I believe we should all know how to do this work.
Messaging workshops are powerful and highly effective. The beauty of my process is that it requires the input and active participation of staff from a cross-section of departments. You're not developing one-off "talking points" in a vacuum.
The program includes short online videos and live weekly small-group (max. 5) mentoring meetings with me via Zoom.
With support and mentoring from me, you'll learn how to lead participants through the six-phase messaging framework I use successfully with my own clients.
The magic is in the process: With your guidance, they'll brainstorm, prioritize and agree on the most impactful messages that highlight the best and brightest aspects of the organization. They'll leave more aligned and clear about how to communicate about the company or nonprofit. And you'll cement your role as an invaluable communications advisor!
By the end of our time together, you'll…
Build a purposeful, expansive, and lucrative PR business by offering strategic messaging sessions that let you play in your zone of genius, minimize PR busywork, and have energy for the other important areas of your life
Master a rock star, six-phase framework that closes gaps in your clients’ message development and adds meaningful revenue to your business
Eliminate lingering self-doubt that senior leaders will question the impact of your work
Cultivate an unshakeable sense of self-trust so you consistently ask for the premium fees you know your work is worth
Increase revenue with a transformational workshop you can deliver again and again
Pour all of your desire to use communications to make a difference in the world into a workshop that leaves employees feeling valued, heard and engaged
Harness your naturally strategic brain and passion for making the world a better place to help companies create clearer, more aligned and authentic messaging they can use wherever they communicate, market, or sell
I look forward to working with you!
