SUMMARY:PRSA Webinar: Reach More Readers By Thinking Like a Reader
DESCRIPTION:THIS IS A FREE EVENT FOR PRSA MEMBERS. \nIt’s counterintuitive but true: The product is never the topic. The program is never the topic. The plan is never the topic. The topic is never the topic. \nThe reader is always the topic. \nIn this persuasive-writing webinar\, you’ll steal techniques from persuasive 20th-century Americans including Martin Luther King Jr.\, John Kennedy\, Margaret Chase Smith\, Ronald Reagan\, and Barack Obama. You’ll learn a four-step strategy for writing from the readers’ point of view. \nSpecifically\, you’ll learn how to: \n\nTake advantage of the formula readers use to decide what to read.\nTap 2 rewards of reading to boost interest in your persuasive argument.\nAnswer the No. 1 question your reader is asking about your piece.\nMake a 2-minute perspective shift to focus your message on reader value — not on “us and our stuff.”\nUse a 3-letter word that magically increases relevance to your readers … a useful skill in many settings\n\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:PRSA Event: PRSA Storytellers: What the Pandemic Proves About Leadership: Why Skilled Improvisation and Inclusion Are the Key to Our Futures
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS FREE TO MEMBERS & STUDENT MEMBERS! \n  \nWhile upsetting the balance of our lives all over the world\, COVID-19 has also focused enduring themes and emerging trends for leadership practice. This big-picture webinar details why and how improvisation and inclusion must be at the center of every leader’s philosophy and behaviors in a post-pandemic world. In essence\, no organization can be successful without their leaders cultivating these twin skills moving forward. Detailing what has changed in our organizational environments\, while drawing from a wealth of research and surprising insights from the field of improvisational theater\, the webinar will provide participants with a framework that can be immediately put into practice by both rising and established leaders. Using findings from the author’s new book\, Improv for Democracy: How to Bridge Differences and Develop the Communication and Leadership Skills Our World Needs\, the webinar will further provide an opportunity for participants to re-set their thoughts and actions as they launch into new and uncertain post-pandemic futures. \nPresenter\nDon Waisanen is a professor in the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs at Baruch College\, where he received the Presidential Awards for Distinguished Teaching and Distinguished Scholarship. He teaches courses and workshops in public communication—including executive speech training\, communication strategy\, and seminars on storytelling\, conflict and negotiation\, and leadership and improvisation. \nAll of Waisanen’s research seeks to understand how communication works to promote or hinder the force of citizens’ voices. Since “every human advancement or reversal can be understood through communication” (Walter Annenberg)\, he has written over 45 scholarly publications on the subject\, covering topics from strategies in public speaking to the ways that organizations and governments can better communicate with different stakeholders. He is the author of Improv for Democracy: How to Bridge Differences and Develop the Communication and Leadership Skills Our World Needs\, and forthcoming books on the intersections of strategic communication and voter suppression\, participatory budgeting\, and nonprofit leadership. \nPreviously\, Waisanen worked in broadcast journalism\, as a speechwriter\, and continues to develop and run communication campaigns for organizations across the private and public sectors.
