Event Description
Title
How to Communicate your Impact: Four ways to measure and communicate your impact
Presenter
Steve Patty, Ph.D., Founder, Dialogues In Action
Your value proposition is your impact. Your impact is why your organization exists, why your team is assembled, and why you deserve the investment of the community. Impact is your raison d’etre. Especially now, when there is so much pulling on the attention of people, you need to be crystal clear about the impact you are having. And you need to help others be crystal clear as well. In this session, we will explore four ways to evaluate your impact and four ways to communicate your impact. If you follow these principles, you will be clearer about your message and more compelling about the case for your mission and cause.

*Space is limited to 500 participants. Please note that a recording of this webinar will be made available on NAO's webinar page for later viewing.
