That Was Fast!

Talk about instant gratification.

I held another NPACT training last Friday for a group of local non-profit communication pros. I continue to refine the agenda, and the session went well.

At the last session, one of the funniest "feedback comments" I got was "You weren't boring. Not even for a minute." I've sat through my share of day-long sessions, so I took that as a great compliment.

So far this session, the best (and strangely similar) comment is "Good training. I do not want those 8 hours of my life back, and I look forward to future opportunities to attend your sessions."

I seem to attract comedians, but I'll take it.

The best feedback, however, came in a different form.

I do a lot of preaching about injecting storytelling into organizations' communication activity, and I didn't spare Friday's group from my sermon. So I was thrilled when I got an email from one of the participants today telling me that he wrote a story about his organization, posted it and turned it into a donor appeal.

He told me I could share it, so here you go. Powerful stuff. Not bad for a day's work (session).

Thanks to all who attended last week, and I hope to see you at the next one.
