    OACES Program:
    Telling Your Organization's Story


    Presented by: Brian Kane, Results for Good

    It's not what you say, but what people hear that counts.  A startling new study found that Congress is talking at a 10th grade level. The worst offender talks at a 7th grade level, yet the guy has advanced degrees.  This might suggest that Congress is doing something wrong. But that's not the case. Professional jargon can confuse and alienate. It's not about talking louder, speaking slowly or enunciating your words.  It's about knowing who your audience is and getting on their radar screen.  Find out how to communicate so that people will listen.

    A fun and highly interactive session guaranteed to drive the success of non-profit organizations. Expect a combination of lecture, small group discussions and role playing aimed at increasing learning and sharpening skills.


    Workshop: 1:00-2:45 PM
    Networking: 2:45-3:30 PM

    Influential Leadership


    Presented by: Brian Kane, Results for Good

    Non-profit professionals frequently assume that having a degree or a particular skill set is all that's necessary for success. Yet, no one succeeds without the support and cooperation of others.  The choices you make determine the influence you have to motivate people and achieve your goals. In every organization, it is critical that you understand how to engage and motivate a range of people - donors, board members, staff or volunteers. Your capacity to acquire and maintain the attention of any or all of these people is critical to your success. When this workshop is over, you'll have acquired new skills that you can put to work immediately to significantly expand your influence with others.

    Demystifying Client Attraction: The Essential Mindset to Finding, Attracting and Enrolling an Endless Stream of Your Ideal Clients

    Presenter: Priscilla Auchincloss, Ph.D.

    It's the number one challenge nearly every consultant faces every day – “How do I find and fill my pipeline?”  And while it's tempting to think that doing all the external strategies like social media, ad copy or article marketing will get results, the truth is, the foundation of compelling and authentic marketing is actually inside you. 

    This talk will focus on the top 3 keys to the mindset you need to meet with anyone, anytime, anywhere, so they remember you – and come back, refer others to you, or invest on the spot. 

    Keeping these essentials in mind means you make a positive connection with the other person, so they walk away with something of value, every time, and they remember it -- and you – with pleasure.   And note, you can easily apply these to your written promotional materials, too.
