Help launch Speak with People!

Donation protected


Friends!

The way our world communicates is getting progressively worse and worse by the day. Maybe you have noticed the mountain of hate that fills the online comments? And, it’s not only online. So many lives are being dismantled by apathetic, hurtful, angry and hateful words. It's made it to our homes, in our parenting, our marriages, our workplaces and even our Churches. Unhealthy communication is taking over, and it’s time to reverse that trend.

Speak With People is Launching on September 1st, and with your help and support, we could reach so many more people. Our Vision is HUGE. We want to Lead a Movement to Change the World with our Words. Yes, that’s ambitious! Yes, that's huge! But, God has given us a HUGE Vision, and our prayer is that God will use Speak With People to lead a movement to elevate the importance of healthy communication in our lives.

Would you HELP US? Would you GIVE FINANCIALLY to help launch and support Speak with People? So many friends stepped forward and asked if they could give financially to help us get Speak with People off the ground, and we were encouraged to launch a crowdfunding campaign to launch this movement well. Our goal is to raise $25,000 in the launch and start-up funds.

Speak With People is a Communications Coaching organization that believes healthy communication can change the world.

Why? Because Words are so important! They’re so important that God used them to create the world. Think about that! He didn’t use Pinterest to create the world, HE SPOKE, and EVERYTHING WAS CREATED. Jesus was also the great curator of words. Throughout the New Testament, Jesus’ words were profound, helpful, and hopeful. Imagine if we elevated the importance of healthy communication; imagine the lives that would be transformed and changed.

This is why we’re launching Speak With People. First, we want to come alongside leaders (anyone with influence) and help them raise the importance of healthy communication and to speak words filled with life into the world. Second, we will Coach and Empower leaders through online cohorts and personal coaching. Third, we will launch an online video library to help inspire healthy communication. Finally, we will establish a Conference for speakers to be more effective communicators. And if that's not enough, our current plan is to release the book...'Speak with People, not at them' in early spring.

This is an exciting time, and we're praying and asking for God's favor and blessing!
