Questions before we start??
Simple Simplicity isn’t about dumbing down, it’s about prioritizing.
(Southwest will be THE low-fare airline.) What’s the core of your message? Can you communicate it with an analogy or high-concept pitch?
7 Words. Be ruthless.
Unexpected To get attention, violate a schema. (The Nordie who
ironed a shirt...) To hold attention, use curiosity gaps. (What are Saturn’s rings made of?) Before your message can stick, your audience has to want it.
What do they want?
Concrete To be concrete, use sensory language. (Think Aesop’s
fables.) Paint a mental picture. (“A man on the moon...”) Try to hook into multiple types of memory.
Make it relatable.
Credible Ideas can get credibility from outside (authorities or anti-
authorities) or from within, using human-scale statistics or vivid details. Let people “try before they buy.” (Where’s the Beef?)
Outside sources?
Emotional People care about people, not numbers. Don’t forget the
WIIFY (What’s In It For You). But identity appeals can often trump self-interest. (“Don’t mess with Texas.”)
Lead with story.
Stories Stories drive action through simulation (what to do) and
inspiration (the motivation to do it). Spring- board stories help people see how an existing problem might change.
How will they change the world with you?

GETTING TO KNOW YOU
FRAMING THE CHALLENGE: FROM THE NONPROFIT SIDE
“TRUE SWEAT EQUITY”Pimco volunteers spend week painting, spinning for others
Dr. Patricia Riba, who helps fight obesity in economically challenged communities, basked in the support her nonprofit received from a group of sweaty Pimco employees.
“This is not your classic fundraiser with everyone drinking champagne,” said Riba, after an intense 45-minute indoor cycling session at SoulCycle in Newport Beach that included the head of the giant Newport-based money management firm.
With 57 nonstop-pedaling volunteers, the cycling fundraiser was just part of Pimco’s ongoing Global Week of Volunteering, organized by the Pimco Foundation. In all, about 850 people – including Pimco employees, family members and friends – will engage in more than 100 community-oriented activities in Orange County, New York and eight other communities around the world.
The week-long effort that started Sunday is part of a growing trend in corporate philanthropy, one that emphasizes the value of donating time and experience, not just money.

HOW WE COLLABORATE
WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Provide an excellent, consistent, fun experience for volunteers.
