They are intended for busy nonprofit staff who don't have the time to travel to a workshop, but who want to learn to apply strategic communication lessons to their work. These live, online seminars are designed to teach immediate practical lessons, while still remaining grounded in clear principles. (more)

This is particularly true for those of us who are dedicating our lives to social change and service. (more)
