Amanda Gibbs: Learn how to lead the transformation your organization needs.

Before Amanda Gibbs was at the Vancouver Museum, it was a solid museum, no doubt.

By the time she left, it was one of the most innovative and engaging museums in the region, with edgy exhibitions on skateboarding, neon signs and taxidermy, to name but a few.

What was the secret?

Clarifying, building consensus around, and clearly communicating a core vision and mission. And then communicating that clear vision to all stakeholders, inside and out.

How do you do that?

Funny you should ask.

Come to Amanda's Vision Reboot: Improve Your Impact with a Winning Organizational Story Tyee Master Class this Saturday, June 21, and she'll tell you all about it using a fun mix of lectures, exercises, storyboarding and lessons in narrative techniques.

You'll come away with a proven process you can take back to your non-profit, small biz, social enterprise or community org. Guaranteed.

Here's a bit more about Amanda Gibbs.

As a public engagement specialist, communications strategist and facilitator with two decades of experience, she supports mission-driven organizations to create visions and brands, plan for organizational change, craft winning campaigns and create meaningful partnerships and collaborations.

Who should attend Amanda's Master Class?

You should, executive director. And you, communications pro. Yep, you, too, my not-for-profit friend and changemaker.

And guess what? We supply the coffee, lunch and post-class wine. You supply the cheery kibbitzing and networking.

Sound good? Good. We'll see you there.
