Impact Storytelling Workshop
June 7 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
This is a unique workshop sponsored by Deloitte where you will get paired with Deloitte mentors to refine your pitch.
Join us for coffee, snacks and an interactive workshop to improve the way you communicate the impact your organization is creating. You’ll learn strategies for effectively grabbing the attention of your target audience and get personalized support and feedback from Deloitte consultants while you develop (and practice) your elevator pitch!
You will:
- Learn a simple framework for telling the story of your impact, guided by an expert in the field
- Get coaching support from local Deloitte Practitioners to improve your current messaging
- Practice your elevator pitch live with Deloitte Practitioners and other nonprofit leaders
- Assess what additional work you need to do to craft the strongest pitch
In just a few hours, you’ll walk away with an updated story, insights on key next steps to take and an increased confidence that your story can get you the resources you need to grow. We hope that by hosting this workshop in-person you will have the opportunity to network and develop authentic community connections with other attendees!

What you need prepared
It is ideal to come with a short written version of your elevator pitch – a 90 second version of your organization’s story / current needs. But it’s ok to come with nothing prepared in advance!
