LIVE UNITED® Annual Report 2016 – 2017 UNITEDWAYMASSBAY.ORG 68909_BK.indd 1 5/14/18 8:16 AM 68909_BK.indd 2 5/14/18 8:16 AM OUR MISSION: We unite to create positive, lasting change for people in need. We call it harnessing the power of people working together. We believe bringing together diverse groups – individuals, nonprofits, companies, and government agencies – is the most effective way to improve the lives of people in need. We work every day to achieve our mission by focusing on two foundations of better lives: Financial Opportunity and Educational Success. Specifically: Financial Opportunity: Ensuring that all families have safe housing, sufficient food and quality childcare. That they have jobs that allow them to support themselves and their families. And that they have access to financial tools and coaching to help build a better future. Educational Success: Preparing children to enter school ready to learn, develop critical social and academic skills, and get the support they need to stay in school and graduate. 68909_BK.indd 3 5/14/18 8:16 AM LEARN MORE: UNITEDWAYMASSBAY.ORG 68909_BK.indd 4 5/14/18 8:16 AM A YEAR OF CREATING POSITIVE, LASTING CHANGE.

  • Speak Like a CEO
    Praise for Speak like a CEO “Speak like a CEO is practical, helpful, insightful, and comforting. Suzanne Bates helps leaders (even the most podium-shy) learn how to find their natural and authentic voice. And she does this with an informed understanding of the real everyday work of leaders.” —Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Author of the National Bestseller Confidence: How Winning Streaks and Losing Streaks Begin and End “Suzanne Bates’s advice is concise and practical. Communication within your organization and with the media is critical to image and success. This book will help every executive do a better job.” —Chris Hansen, Dateline NBC Correspondent “Suzanne Bates’s book provides a wealth of usable information in an easy- to-use format that will prove useful and effective for leaders in all sectors: public, private, or not-for-profit. At the end of the day, whether you are the CEO of a company or a government leader, the efficacy of your leadership is dependent on not only the quality of your ideas but your ability to effec- tively communicate them. Execution depends on energizing and engaging key groups of influencers, and communication that engenders support and enthusiasm is a necessary skill.” —Jane Swift, Former Governor of Massachusetts “It is neither the smartest nor the hardest working CEO who succeeds in business. It is the one who best communicates his or her firm’s vision to customers, vendors, and employees. Speak like a CEO shows you how.” —Tom Stemberg, CEO of Staples “Speak like a CEO is a must read for any professional who recognizes the key to success: building relationships.
