One Day to Confident Presenting


In today's business climate, every presentation and interaction counts. Discover how to project winning presence regardless of the make-or-break scenario you're facing.

Win support and resources
Lead others
Inspire decisive action

This engaging workshop delivers the three cornerstones of confidently and influentially presenting yourself, your ideas, and your organization:

Inspiring Connections help you attract your audience to you like a magnet, whether you're speaking to a single person or a crowded auditorium.

Compelling Messages speak to what your audience cares about, while leading them where you want them to go.

Dynamic Delivery captures and maintains attention by elevating your personal dynamism to transform your message into an experience your audience will feel.

Designed for professionals at any level of an organization, at any tier of their career, with a vested interest in presenting their own value and the value of their organization with confidence, influence, and winning presence, the curriculum includes interactive instruction, individual exercises, group experiences, and daily practices to lock in learning.

Where can Nonprofits Find Young Board Members?  Ask Jamie McClary

The Major Gifts Report, a Jamiemonthly newsletter for nonprofits looking for successful fundraising campaigns, recently asked where organizations could find young board members.  HSB Program Administrator and MNM/MBA dual degree student Jamie McClary answered.   Here is the quote from the December 2010 edition - "Another source for prospective young professional board members is grad schools, says Jamie McClary, program administrator for Hamline University (St. Paul, MN). "Hamline University has a Master in Nonprofit Management program that would definitely be able to provide students as prospective board members," she says. "Most of our students are professionals in the nonprofit sector looking for just an opportunity."
