Item Description

Gordon Mayer is a writer and storyteller who has been ensuring all stakeholders have a voice in shaping effective and fair policy for more than 20 years. He focuses on helping nonprofits and businesses with complex stories share their work and impact with the people they care about.

Gordon has generously donated three hours of coaching on how to be a better advocate or fundraiser! 

In organizing & advocacy, we tell public stories to influence audiences and highlight the value we create in the world. If you do this work or want to do more of it, this session will build your confidence and skills so you can represent your organization even better.

The donated service includes:

  • 3-hour coaching session on how to develop or sharpen your advocacy / fundraising story and asks, plus 30-minute pre-meeting and brief follow-up to review lessons learned. 
  • Participant(s) receive Living Proof Advocacy book on communications for changemakers.

This workshop will be interactive, with an opportunity to practice and get feedback. Topics covered include how to tell a fundraising story that works, and the chance to develop and practice a story every advocate should have ready: your own.
