Hey, IMPACT Driver!

 

Do you know how others perceive your organization?

 

How do they talk about your company & its IMPACT?

 

Whatever you represent as an organization, the value that you bring to your community — that is your brand.

The IMPACT you strive for starts with the way people support you, think of you, and engage with you.

 

In a time of rapid & constant change, you need to get clear on where you should focus your limited energy, funding, and resources to gain the most support.

 

Join me for this episode to learn how to own the message around your brand and be sure the way others are talking about you is the way you want them to talk about you.

 

Enjoy!
