How To Spread The Humanity Project Message

View fullsize

We’ll keep this short & sweet. Folks sometimes wonder, “How can I best explain to others what the Humanity Project is really about?” Here’s our suggestion for a good elevator speech, something you can say in 30 seconds to anyone who might be interested in our nonprofit:

“The Humanity Project believes no human being should ever have to prove their value. So the group offers a wide variety of programs that promote equality and self-worth or prevent disrespectful bullying behavior. All programs for kids and adults are free. And those programs are widely recognized for their innovative, effective lessons.”

Then perhaps refer them to our website here at www.thehumanityproject.com … We can take it from there.

If you’re a supporter of the Humanity Project, or even just a casual online follower, you can remember those few words to help connect us with others who may need our extensive resources. We want to get our values, our message and our programs to as many people as possible. And as you already know, word of mouth often is the best way to reach the public. We hope you’ll take opportunities that may come up in your daily life to tell friends, family or even strangers about the Humanity Project. In advance, we thank you!

Speakers Bureau Is A Hit

We’re off to a great start … with big thanks to our wonderful Board of Directors member, Mandi Hawke — and our friends at Neighbors 4 Neighbors. The new Humanity Project Speakers Bureau gave our first talk in late May. Mandi was the guest of El Dorado Furniture in Miami, with about 35 of their employees attending the lunchtime session. Here’s how Mandi herself described it in a Facebook post:

“I am honored to serve on the board of @thehumanityproject 🥰. As part of our speakers bureau I had the privilege of presenting on ‘spiritual and personal growth recovering through the pandemic’ to about 35 employees at El Dorado furniture. I was blown away by the engagement and active participation. We spoke about our human need for deep connection, how to validate others suffering, as well as the importance of validating our own suffering. We shared different coping skills that work for us and talked about how good non judgmental listening feels. That was a great day...”

Mandi was too modest to also explain that the folks at El Dorado told her she was one of their best speakers … in the past 22 years! Bravo, Mandi! This talk was set up through our ongoing partnership with Neighbors 4 Neighbors, a respected South Florida nonprofit that works closely with CBS Miami to promote other significant nonprofit organizations. Recently, Neighbors 4 Neighbors featured the Humanity Project, creating PSAs about us that played on TV. See an example here.

Our Speakers Bureau offers a wide range of topics and accomplished speakers drawn mainly from our Board of Directors. You’ll find authors, a university professor, teachers, journalists — even a Tony-winning Broadway producer. We’ll take our talks to you in person or virtually within South Florida. Or anywhere in the world over the internet. Take a look and contact us soon. As you can tell, we have a message worth sharing.
