Make It Count Communications

Who cares?

The most important question you need to ask is often the hardest to answer. If you are concerned with attracting and retaining staff, motivating organizational change, or raising support or money, it’s no longer about you.

Unfortunately the closer we are, the harder it is to get the very perspective we need. So often we miss the mark and fail to engage (or push away) the very people we need in our camp. At best, you’ll miss a great opportunity to reinforce the good news of your organization. At worst, you’ll run the risk of deflating your allies, losing your best staff and volunteers, and turning off your donors and customers.

I’m so glad you’re here.

If you’re reading this, you’re interested in learning how you can improve communications with your staff, volunteers, donors or clients in order to get better results. You may have a policy or organizational change that you need to roll out to staff, or a problem that you need to address – and you don’t know where to begin. Or you may just need a supportive coach to kick start an initiative that is behind schedule or has no one to work on it. I can teach you the skills you need to make positive changes happen, or I can help you with your project. Either way, I offer you the advantage of my experience, and objective, expert, and down-to-earth advice.

You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know.

The sad truth is that most post secondary and professional education programs offering training in human resources, management, fundraising, public relations or marketing do not take more than a passing glance at how to communicate authentically and effectively with staff. I call it the Great Organizational Divide.

And even the most respected of them stop short at teaching how to actually explain things in the right way, to the right people. There just isn’t a lot of information out there on this overlooked topic.

I have developed easy-to-follow articles and self-study programs to help.

There are times when it pays to do it yourself, and other times when it doesn’t. You may need the backing of an independent expert, or may just need extra help for an intense project for which you are understaffed. I offer mini-consultations and work personally with a limited number of clients.
