Who Are You and What Do You Want? (Reagan Pugh)
The biggest mistake most people make when advocating for themselves, their organization, or their community is this: They don’t know how to communicate who they are or what they want. Which means they are forgettable.
With a little reflection and simple structure, you can stand apart from the crowd and be understood by those you wish to include in your mission. In this interactive session, Reagan will walk you through a series of reflection activities to help you better articulate your story and values. He will then teach you a storytelling framework to give you a solid elevator pitch you can custom tailor to fit any situation or scenario.

Creating Content that Speaks to Your Audience (Reagan Pugh)
Have you ever found yourself frustrated that no one seems to care about your cause as much as you? Most marketing, promotion or advocacy efforts don’t work because they fail to speak the language of the people on the receiving end. If we’re going to enlist people in our story, we need to understand their story. We need to show them how they can find purpose in the work we’re inviting them to join. It all starts with understanding our audience. This session will help you dig into the psyche of the people you need to enlist in your cause through an audience understanding activity. It will then guide you through activities to create messaging to catch their attention and inspire action.
