Here is the CTG message map we talked about today. Start with the top three points and deepen to sub-points where it's helpful. Please add your own stories, metaphors, and examples - this is only meant to be a guide and a crutch. If you find yourself in a tough spot, wander back to one of the top three and you'll be back "home".
If partners have specific questions...
- There will be a meeting for partners funded through CTG.
- More information on the community RFPs will be released in a few months.
- Otherwise, take the question down and refer it to Carrie, Julie, or I.
For your reference, here's the full proposal. The 1-2 sentence job descriptions of each position I rambled through earlier today are in the Budget Narrative.
Kyle, thanks for the follow-up on this.
ReplyDeleteKyle did a one on one coaching session for me. After I read the message map he asked me questions ( Kyle..wish I could remember them)
ReplyDeleteHe had me answer the questions and then pointed out what he thought was strong and on message. When I stumbled he modeled some potential answers.
This is the first time I have been a media spokesperson...and I was nervous. Thanks for the support Kyle! Practice just before I got the calls and having the message map with me at all times were the two most helpful things.
Reminds me of an African Proverb:

If you want to go far, go together
@Julie Thanks for modeling courageously learning a new skill, and sharing the experience with us. It's interesting to hear which pieces of the prep were most useful!
