Communicate for Good

About Communicate for Good

What if there was a proven way to build your confidence, expand your influence, and amplify your impact? There is. Words. Ineffective communication is expensive. According to research, on average it costs organizations more than $20,000 per employee per year. Communicate for Good is on a mission to put an end to this by tackling the root cause of this persistent problem: the relationship between how we talk to ourselves and how we lead others. Join communication expert, professor, and entrepreneur Erica Barnhart and her guests for candid conversations and harrowing tales about the public impact of private self-talk, the realities of leading in turbulent times, and the challenges of showing up when life gets messy. At the end of each episode, you’ll be able to more clearly and confidently say what you mean, own what you know, and lead the way you want.

Something that might add to an organization's mission-related piggy bank might, and often, drains its revenue-related piggy bank. I mean, in some ways, that is fundamentally what nonprofits in particular are managing. You bring in money so that you can spend it on mission. So that is more complicated.
