Message to Impact: Strengthening Your Public Speaking as a Nonprofit Leader

Nonprofit leaders are often called upon to speak in high‑stakes situations—with boards, funders, staff, and community partners—where confidence and clarity matter. This interactive half‑day workshop helps leaders strengthen their public speaking skills in a practical, supportive setting. Participants will learn how to establish credibility quickly, structure presentations around what audiences are truly listening for, and use body language to reinforce key messages. The session will highlight common presentation traps, and support participants in leaving a clear, confident, and lasting impression when speaking on behalf of their organizations.

Participants should be prepared to practice delivering short presentations and receiving feedback.
