Many individuals have great ideas to share related to their research, a key organizational message or expertise. But far too often, these ideas are not adequately communicated to the intended audiences. Often, the deliverer of the idea hasn’t been trained on how to communicate effectively to external audiences. Features of my communications workshops for researchers, academics and thought leaders are:
- Experiential learning - “Experiential” is incorporated into my company’s name for good reason. You can’t learn to drive by just studying the handbook. You have to practice and get on the road. Ditto for strategic communications. After teaching the key concepts and highlighting best practices, attendees directly apply the learning through a series of different practical and hands-on exercises.
- Global perspectives - Our training materials incorporate the insights of journalists, communications professionals and individual experts with a track record of generating positive visibility.
- Customized - All my materials are adapted based on the organization’s particular context.
- Follow-up - I provide resources and activities to ensure that a learning experience is not a one-off event.
I’ve delivered workshops for the likes of College Advising Corps; Duke Corporate Education; Duke University Center on Globalization, Governance & Competitiveness; Duke University Center for Advanced Hindsight; North American Society for the Sociology of Sport; North Carolina State University’s Emerging Issues Initiative; RTI International; Seattle University; and VIF International Education.
