Jargon is driving me nuts. 🙃 An advert for the latest 'architect designed townhouse' landed in my mailbox. Of course it’s architect designed- I didn’t think you brought in the local butcher to just have a go. Same for chef created gourmet meals 🍴. Maybe the chef did a job swap with the architect just for fun 😄. When you’re approaching a new corporate partner, the temptation is to use jargon, program language, or just the blindingly obvious to describe your organization. Patient-centred care 🏥- well of course it is. If you’re not centered on improving the health of the patient, then what are you doing?  Evidence-based 📊- I assumed you didn’t just wake up that morning and think it was a good idea.  Trauma-informed 💔 - no doubt valuable but I had to Google what it meant. Many non-profits are too deep in their own jargon to realize that it’s not appropriate for a corporate audience. If you aim to reach out to partners, you need to speak their language. You especially don’t want to use language that makes you look smart and your audience feel stupid or excluded. Crafting a compelling message for a corporate audience is essential to winning new partners. It needs to be concise, to the point, and aimed at both the head and the heart. 💡 ❤️ If you want to design a credentials document that gets corporate attention, join us for our session at the F&P BIG4 conference on Thurs 31st October. We’ll give you tips and tricks and plenty of great examples. https://lnkd.in/g7AFW_JT Need help with creating your own awesome document?

As an Executive Director, I strive to uphold and work hard to exhibit these items listed so both organizations can thrive, learn, and grow. The one that sticks out to me is the Board Chair (President) and Executive Director relationship as one of the most pivotal for the organization's success. Transparency, trust, and communication are essential attributes that underpin this relationship while driving the organization towards its goals and maximizing its impact in the community. https://lnkd.in/gsCUfdC5
