4. Survey Feedback from Session #3
Fantastic
• I am not a data person but I actually enjoyed it and
how it was presented. I also loved the tour of our
town and learning about it. lunch was also delicious!
• It was a good mix of active and thoughtful! I
appreciated the opportunity to get to know some
cohort members I had not yet had the opportunity
to chat with.
• The whole day was wonderful. The person touch
with the Med Deli owner was a bonus.
Frustrating
• I didn’t like how cold the bus was or how people
were talking over Aaron
• I would only say that when we’re running behind,
cutting time from our few breaks would not be
preferred.
• More time for the panel would have been great.
5. Small Miracle Pitches
What: Pitch partners have 4 minutes to pitch the local nonprofit they believe should be the Leadership 2022
beneficiary.
When: Thursday, June 9, 2022 (next session, Session #4)
How: Four-minute pitch presentation (most use power point slides) to communicate four critical elements:
• The Organization: Tell us the “who, what, and why,” i.e., who is this organization (name), what do they do
(mission), and why do they do it (why is this a relevant and timely matter to address?
• The Need: Tell us what the local nonprofit organization needs to be successful?
• The Amount: Tell us how much you hope the class will raise to meet this organization’s needs.
• The Action: Tell us how you recommend the class raise the funds.
Duration: 4 minutes
Reminder: Small Miracles is a group project designed to help you develop as a leader while also getting more
informed, connected, and engaged in the local community. The objective is to raise at least $1,500 ($500 for a
local nonprofit organization and $1,000 towards a partial scholarship for next year’s cohort.
7. Icebreaker
Think of a time when you or someone you know emerged as the first follower
for an effort you were a part of. How did that feel?
What steps can be taken to help someone emerge as a first follower?
Now take five minutes to find someone you haven’t really talked with yet,
reintroduce yourself, and share your story and observations.
