There’s no doubt about it — stories move people. When it comes to public policy, stories can inspire leaders to make positive change.
As a Political Reporter for decades, I saw legislators meet families, kids and the elderly in hallways to discuss important legislation. In the end, it was those stories and first- hand accounts that tugged at the hearts strings of those legislators, inspiring them to vote for the change that would make a difference in the lives of so many.

At Lexicon Strategies, a major component of most of our engagements involves developing and conducting structured listening sessions. Authentic qualitative research is so important to successful community and social impact work and, we believe, it’s what makes the solutions we deliver so much more effective.
When we think about solutions or messaging, many people look to surveys or quantitative data. And, it’s always a mistake not to pair data with words. We live in a world driven by language and emotion, not numbers and percentages. The only way to capture actionable, successful insight is to listen to the people involved speaking directly to you.

One of my favorite clients called one day with an idea. She wanted to continue her “live” panel discussions but she didn’t want her subjects to be inside one of 500 boxes on the screen. Was it possible to do a panel professionally produced via Zoom — good audio, good lighting, camera switching, etc.?

We are about to get down to the wire in this election season and polls are going to come in almost daily. There will be bar charts and pie charts and histograms and infographics. Commentators will share these visual works of art and draw pointed, definitive, passionate conclusions about us, and you and me and our country, our county, our zip code. In America in 2020, we have the data science DOWN and we can DEFINITELY make an infographic.
The thing is, many politicians, brands and marketers often confuse surveys and polls with actually listening to constituents and customers and understanding them. In fact, I believe that data can actually CONFUSE the understanding of a particular concept because we uncouple data from human language and human emotion.

To say it’s not an easy time for nonprofit organizations would be an understatement. Many have had to cancel in-person fundraising events including galas that can help to raise millions of dollars. Several have had to put a stop to serving out their missions that are based on in-person gatherings.
The mission of Lighthouse Family Retreats is to serve and help families living through childhood cancer. The main way they do that is by offering families a trip to the beach where they can put their worries aside for a few days and escape.
