Taft Communications on Wednesday said it is launching a new initiative for Trenton-area nonprofit and small business leaders through its Taft ClearPoint leadership communications practice: InspireWorks.
The initiative will support small business leaders and help them sharpen and excel in their communications skills to unleash the full potential of how they deliver their messages to various audiences.
Greater Trenton, the nonprofit economic development organization focused on the state’s capital city, is partnering with Taft on the initiative, with other nonprofits and foundations expected to send participants through the four-month program.
InspireWorks will kick off in October, with workshops delivered from Taft’s new Roebling Center offices at 35 Clark St., formerly the home of the Roebling Wire Works complex and carpentry shop.
“The InspireWorks initiative is inspired by the entrepreneurial Trenton community, and the history of the Roebling Wire Works complex,” Taft CEO and Managing Partner Ted Deutsch said. “When we moved our firm to Trenton, we set out to find ways to give back. Our team is now excited to share Taft’s experience in leadership communications to add value for Trenton’s current and emerging leaders and, in doing so, lift up the story of Trenton’s resurgence.”
Building on decades of Taft ClearPoint experience sharpening the communications capabilities of more than 3,500 executives from clients around the world, InspireWorks will serve two cohorts per year. Each cohort will include four separate two-hour communications workshops followed by individual one-on-one coaching with experienced Taft consultants.
The sole financial obligation for organizations sending participants to InspireWorks will be a nominal $100 fee. The low-cost, high-value experience is made possible through Taft and other partners subsidizing the cost of the program.
The first cohort has an application deadline of Sept. 20; a second is slated for March 2025.
