Public Speaking Coach

Project details

What we need
  • Personalized feedback and up to 5 coaching sessions with one member of the Organization
  • Document outlining strengths, weaknesses, and suggested next steps and/or resources for the member
Additional details

I would love a speaking coach to help take my speaking to the next level and allow my leadership skills to shine!

What we have in place
  • We currently have No training in this realm!, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have Enthusiasm!, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,760 , allowing us to Raise more funds for this important greening work in San Francisco!

I work with foundations and corporations to help fund our greening programs. Honing my public speaking (and confidence) will allow me to more effectively communicate and touch people on a deeper level.
