Media training prepares you to communicate clearly, confidently, and intentionally in high-stakes or even unexpected moments. It helps you tighten how you talk about your work.

Executive Directors of nonprofits need to articulate their mission clearly to donors, funders, and media. A founder pitching investors needs to communicate trust and urgency in under five minutes. Even someone graduating from college benefits from being able to clearly answer, “So what do you do — and why?” in a way that actually opens a door.

Lucy’s Love Bus is a childhood cancer support organization, and there’s a personal connection for me—my parents met while working in the pediatric oncology clinic at Johns Hopkins Hospital, so it feels like a full-circle moment. Cancer touches so many lives, and having the opportunity to support the families of the youngest patients has truly been the honor of a lifetime.

Do you humanize your AI? Read the latest blog post on how to make sure that your love and affection for AI--and creating cringe-worthy AI created content--doesn't replace your own deliciously human voice.

Building on the momentum of the No Kings protest, I find myself reflecting on the aftermath—what transpires once the rallying cries subside? Is there a coherent set of demands to which the protesters are fully committed, or does the march diminish into a kind of performative display? And don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the competition of who can wield the most provocative and entertaining sign.

That being said, I don’t want to undermine the significance of such demonstrations. The act of physically showing up, marching, and voicing dissent is a vital exercise in democratic engagement. It sends a powerful message to both domestic and international audiences, signaling that though we the people voted in Trump, we’re not all on board with his policies and agenda.
