“Great leaders must have two things: a vision of the world that does not yet exist and the ability to communicate that vision clearly.” Simon Sinek
Communication is the basic element of your success.
Think about your heroes. What do they all have in common? They talk, they tell stories, they get your attention through words.
Throughout history our most respected and memorable heroes are great orators, or great writers, or both. Whether they are founders, philosophers, politicians, scientists, leaders in religion, the art, or business, the most influential are also the best communicators.
From ancient Greeks to hip-hop artists, great communicators get attention!
Today, among your personal heroes may be an elected official, a speaker with a motivational podcast, or an inspiring author. They have a voice and they use it to connect.
That’s what great communication does.
Why does this matter to you?
When you become a strong communicator you have the power to influence people. It allows you to make connections. As a nonprofit leader at any level, communication will win advocates, donors and volunteers. It will make you and your organization stronger and more influential.
Use your words to build a bigger, better organization. Use your words to attract donors. Use your words to make the world a better place.
You need money. You need time. You need people.
You need me.
