Origins of the Series

“Your Communication Matters” was developed for Advantage Valley, a marketing and strategic-initiative organization serving the Charleston-Huntington metropolitan region. It was first offered to Advantage Valley clients in fall 2023, and, due to its positive impact, will be held again in spring 2024.

Its pilot run received an outstanding 4.98-star rating from participants, with 100% expressing their enthusiastic recommendation to colleagues. Feedback from the satisfaction survey highlighted the effectiveness of the workshop:

• “Very informative and helpful.”
• “Very professional delivery.”
• “I really loved how interactive it was.”
• “Loads of information and an opportunity to network.”
• “Great to help define your goals and deep dive into what drives your business.”
• “It gives you a smart breakdown, with your own implementation between, and plenty to think about when you go home.”
