Meeting Review: Inclusive Communication—Alternatives to Assumption
As professional communicators, of course we want to reach a wide audience with a clear message. But we know that sometimes we inadvertently say or write something that derails that message. And we are keenly aware that it can be challenging to navigate personal and social guidelines, which are evolving and changing all the time.
Recap: Going Up! Improving Your Elevator Pitch
On September 8, AWC-SB launched its 2022 season with professional storyteller and AWC-SB Woman of Achievement, Kymberlee Weil. She shared tips for creating a powerful elevator pitch. “Use language that makes it compelling and memorable,” she said. “Tell a little less, so the listener wants more…!” Above all, “Be so memorable they can’t ignore you.” Read a recap of the event here, written by Justine Sutton.
July and August: Drop-in to Books for Breakfast
AWC-SB presents Books for Breakfast, an informal summer discussion group of books that will help us become Better Communicators. Two events are taking place on July 14 and August 11 in downtown Santa Barbara. Meetings are open to AWC-SB members & non-members. No-host, you buy your own beverage/breakfast. No need to RSVP, just show up.
