Story Fundamentals:
Create a compelling congregational story.
The Story Fundamentals Workshop is a live synagogue-team workshop to help your congregation develop a powerful story to share.
Mission and vision statements are boring and focus on the congregation — instead, you will create a Value Story that highlights your community and inspires others to engage with you.

Adult education, membership engagement, and leadership training for your congregation can be a coherent and coordinated effort.

Digital Productivity Bootcamp
We live in an era of unending streams of emails, articles, and digital materials that we have to manage in our limited time. This workshop will help you manage your emails, manage your tasks, and organize your digital life. (This workshop is good for teams and individuals.)
Solution Design Workshop
Once you know who you are trying to serve, how do you actually come up with the ideas, solutions, and offers you want to make to help them? This workshop is a step-by-step process to develop exactly what you are going to offer your audience. Whether you are a congregation, organization, or an individual, working through this process will give you clarity and focus.
How to Write for the Internet
Reading habits on the internet are not the same as reading a book or a magazine. Readers today have limited patience and skim the content rather than read. As much as we might protest, many of us are now also content creators. We have to deal with SEO (Search Engine Optimization), the differences in social media platforms, the time it takes to write, and those readers.
When I translate a sermon into a blog post, what should I change? What does Google prefer? How do I transform the content into tweets or a Facebook post? This session will discuss navigating those issues and present various approaches to help you write clearer on the internet.
Camp’s Voice: Stories and Strategies
In this workshop, we will craft a story for your camp rooted in who you serve. Drawing on what makes your camp special and unique, combined with focused storytelling, we will build a clearer strategy to help you engage with your campers and their families. Walk away with not just a story, but a system to help you implement it.
