As an academic leader, people are expecting you to create, shape and articulate a big vision for your academic unit. If you're a Development Officer, you've likely heard some "unfundable" ideas along the way. This interactive workshop will offer an opportunity for you to work in pairs or groups on your big ideas with others before you hit the road and share your vision with potential donors. Is your narrative compelling? Can you capture the vision and ambition in a memorable way? Can you engage your listener through storytelling to move them to action? In this interactive workshop we will work through your big ideas and provide you with a framework for idea refinement in the future.
