What Clients Say…

Storytelling Training
“Kate did a 2-hour training for our advocates and communications staff on how to center stories around clients, how to do so in a way that is not exploitative, and how to do so ethically and effectively. It was really helpful to spark reflection about how we tell client stories—in the courtroom, on social media, and with funders, and I received very positive feedback from staff. Kate is really a great trainer—interesting, insightful, engaging, and genuine.”

Messaging Training
"We have an extremely committed board of trustees who have struggled for years with how to effectively communicate with friends, family, and colleagues about our mission; if they couldn't memorize the "perfect" summary of our work, they remained silent. In one hour with our board, Kate taught our trustees how to find and build upon organic moments of communication. I watched in amazement as imagined lightbulbs over trustees' heads turned on and illuminated the meeting. Kate is a marvel."

Storytelling Training
“Kate did two trainings for our Florida legal aid attorneys this year. Attendees really appreciated her fresh, client-centered approach to storytelling and client interviewing/consent. She has given us a lot to think about regarding how we tell client stories and we hope to work with her again!”

Storytelling Training
“Kate’s training on client-centered storytelling was thoughtful, engaging, and effective. Our staff was so enthralled that Kate graciously went over the two-hour window with us to continue answering questions and sharing examples. She empowered our staff to think more holistically about the stories we share and the processes to collect them. As a small nonprofit, we all have a hand in communications and we really needed this training. Now we’re on the same page and excited about spreading the word about VLJ. I highly recommend her!”
