Get Your Message Out With Water Words That Work
June 21, 2011
Brought to you by the Waquoit Bay Reserve Coastal Training Program and Woods Hole Sea Grant

Are you tired of struggling with message design and delivery?  Would you like to learn what really works when communicating about water, conservation and coastal management issues?  Then attend this dynamic workshop with nationally acclaimed communications expert Eric Eckl designed to revolutionize the way you communicate to public audiences about environmental issues.

For those trained in different disciplines, environmental writing for everyday citizens can be a frustrating challenge, but the Water Words That Work message method makes it much easier to succeed. It's designed to turn those blank stares into nodding heads - to turn passive "environmental awareness" into environmental action.  Come and learn how to understand your audience, target your message and inspire people to action.  If you speak or write about environmental issues in a professional or volunteer capacity you do not want to miss this workshop!  The workshop will be relevant to both novice and seasoned communicators.

Testimonials from those who have attended Eric's workshops recently:

"Everyone in the conservation field needs this training...great, GREAT information!"
- Coreen Evans Weilminster, Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve<http://www.dnr.state.md.us/bay/cbnerr/>

"...in our last newsletter we incorporated some of your method in an article on pet waste... we received more response via phone calls, emails, and notes on payment coupons regarding that article than anything we have previously done. You have made us a believer."
-Jeremiah Johnson, Beckley, WV Sanitary Board<http://www.beckleysanitaryboard.org/>

"Mr. Eckl is an environmentalist and also a marketing consultant who understands how to persuade people. He said that scientists, government officials, and his fellow environmentalists often...fail to get through because in many cases people don't know what they are talking about and therefore don't care. Mr. Eckl is absolutely right."
