This episode explores the powerful role that communication and visibility skills play in the overall long term success of our nature programs. It's not a reach to say that they are absolutely essential for us to master, and they are also the skills that we probably are the most reluctant to practice. Nature Educator April Zajko M.Ed. and I dive into these concepts and we share stories about our own journey as visionary business leaders and how we learned important lessons the hard way over the past few decades.
Social media, written newsletters and blogs, video content and public speaking all form a 'communications ecosystem' that gives us all many ways to connect to our potential students, each with their advantages and disadvantages. We discuss some of the many ways to achieve our goals if we are willing to let go of our fear, have a curious mind, are willing to learn from failure and persevere!
