Discover How Persuasively You’re Communicating: Communication Audit
$3,500
You know something’s not working because the communication products your experts are creating aren’t delivering results, but you can’t identify what that “something” is.
Dr. Dawn Henwood will review a portfolio of communication products—emails, reports, proposals, presentations, web copy, infographics, videos, etc.—and provide a detailed analysis of their strengths and weaknesses.
You may provide 15-20 document pages or the equivalent. The written analysis will include comments on each portfolio item plus general comments on the entire portfolio. You’ll gain a clear picture of the strengths to build on and the areas to shore up.
If you decide to use the audit as the foundation for a coaching or group training package, the fee can be applied to that service.
“I had the pleasure to work with Dawn and her team on a strategic plan for the business program at Mount Allison University. Dawn provided great insights into the planning process and navigated the various phases of the plan in a professional manner. Her facilitation skills were an important contributor to developing a plan that had wide ownership and buy-in from the community.”
