NEW! RESONANCE: Out Loud & On Purpose
We are thrilled to introduce our NEW workshop to create the single most important story that all leaders must tell today: The Vision Narrative. This workshop is designed for senior leaders, communicators, development officers, marketers, and PR specialists.

In this intensive one-day workshop, you will walk away with:
• Actionable steps to create a Vision Narrative, including lessons on communicating vision, thought leadership, strategy, and mission
• Our proven exercises to articulate Worthy Purpose.
• Tips on deploying the Vision Narrative to internal and external audiences—from Q&As to keynotes.
