To lead well, leaders need to communicate a message that combines a clear, strategic idea, with dynamic delivery. I work with executives and staff to:
* Understand and develop their core message and deliver it with clarity, enthusiasm and impact, inspiring confidence, commitment and action; * Identify and determine the strategic placement of stories and information for speaking dates, presentations and meetings;
* Showcase messages in formats including keynote speeches, presentations, elevator speeches, pitches, and written and online editorial and marketing content. Interested? Call me at 602-769-3674 or email me at [email protected]. Values: What You Care About and How You Treat Each Other. Is everyone on your team aligned with the organization's values? Does that even matter? Yes, if you want to succeed! One of the workshops I offer focuses on values alignment between the team and the organization. Understanding and embracing cultural values helps guide team members in their relationships with each other and your constituencies, and in making decisions consistent with your mission and goals.

How do you serve? Do you know an organization or person you'd like to acknowledge? Email me here. In this issue we are featuring Treasures 4 Teachers.
A Shoe for a Pencil Seven years ago, Barbara Blalock, founder and executive director of Treasures 4 Teachers, observed a second grade classroom here in Maricopa County. Mrs. Johnson asked her students to get out a piece of paper and pencil. Blalock watched as seven-year-old Sandy untied the shoe laces on her right tennis shoe, pulled it off and handed it to Mrs. Johnson. Mrs. Johnson smiled and handed her a pencil. After class, Blalock asked Johnson why Sandy gave her the shoe for a pencil. Johnson told her she didn't have enough pencils and, this way, she knew she would get it back. Sandy wouldn't leave without her shoe. She told her it wasn't just pencils. She also needed paper, tape, crayons, markers, binders, folders and glue. As tears welled up in her eyes, she shared that if she wanted to do student projects, she had to purchase the supplies with money from her own pocket. That day, Blalock knew she needed to do something, so she created Treasures 4 Teachers, a nonprofit organization that collects supplies and makes them available to teachers. The organization not only provides a much-needed resource, but diverts more than one hundred truckloads of supplies from the landfill. Arizona ranks 47th in the nation on student spending, which equates to just five cents per student per day for school supplies. Students can't color without crayons, write without pencils, or correct mistakes without erasers. Their education and self-esteem suffer. This puts a heavy burden on teachers to provide the supplies needed to run an effective classroom. On average, teachers spend up to $1,000 each year out of their own pocket. Treasures 4 Teachers helps to offset that amount by providing free and low cost supplies from the community with the help of companies like Intel, US Airways, Wells Fargo, Ping and SRP. Last year, the organization provided supplies to 2,500 teachers, reaching 75,000 students.
