“The most valuable of all talents is never using two words when one will do.”

Training

Public speaking and presentation training. Learn how to harness the power behind the podium. Personal coaching to help you create and deliver a compelling case for your cause. Organization and presence are emphasized in preparation of audio/visual tools and key ideas. Video taped and critique sessions hone your skills. You should not only be heard. You should be remembered.

Pro-active media preparedness. Our trademark “MediaTalk” training method—more than 25 years in the making—teaches you how to generate press when you want it and encounter a crisis without crumbling. You’ll be ever-prepared to say the right thing at the right time to the right people, even when the media shows up unexpectedly.

Crisis Communications Planning and Training. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Schools are part of today’s society and that means shootings, bomb threats, drug busts and mechanical breakdowns. Are you ready? Parents, media and taxpayers want to know…now!

Board Development. Learning to play in the same sand box with people you didn’t choose may take the help of a skilled mediator and professional teacher. Whether you need the basics to teach board roles and responsibilities or a third-party to manage a crisis in leadership, we clear the pathway to successful collaboration and decision-making.

NOTE: Private individual, small group or large audience training. Training from Voss & Associates qualifies for points toward the Florida School Board Association’s Certified Board Member program.

“Advocacy can be scary stuff, but this (Voss) training will give us the confidence to take on that one-eyed monster.”
