Strengthening your fundraising and your leadership skills is my passion.
I know that fundraising isn’t just about the techniques to ask. Yes, there is science to it but in the end it’s all about people. And the most important person who is overlooked, is you.
That’s why it’s so important to me that you have the most effective tools and skills to reach both your personal and professional potential. I want to help you optimize your fundraising efforts and double your fundraising results.
Join me on these videos as I provide an assortment of ideas, tools, and gems to be happier and a more effective fundraiser and leader. You are important and you are what makes the difference.
The lessons here are a gift. You can adjust in small increments for ease moving forward. Sometimes it takes two or more lessons for you to make a decision in your life to be different. “So, what?” If it takes 100 lessons, it’s still all good.
Magic in fundraising???? How is that possible when you have to ask for money? I share my thoughts on why I think fundraising and philanthropy can be so magical. Two major fundraisers are suggested in this video as inspiring examples for you and I, regardless of how big or small our organizations are.
Are you plagued by self-doubt? Most if not all of us are! In the previous video, I mentioned amygdala and prefrontal cortex which comes into play with self-doubt. Self-doubt unfortunately can prevent us from successful fundraising! In this video I give advice on how to break the cycle. Don’t let self-doubt hold you back. Spring forward!
Amygdala, neurons, and prefrontal cortex, oh my! I love it when science confirms what I’m thinking. You might be thinking, ‘what’s it got to do with donations?’. Watch this short video as I explain the interesting correlation between science and asking.
In today’s video I share my thoughts on how asking your donors to be part of your organization is a fabulous gift. Bonus: You live longer and healthier when you’re a part of a community, according to the recent studies!
NO, that’s not an ‘F’! That’s an ‘IF’. I-F. We constantly play the ‘what if…’ game in our minds during our daily routine. It can and often does make an impact on us. Why not apply it to fundraising and your organization? I go into detail on What-If’ing in this video.
Become an explorer! Wait, what does that have anything to do with being a fundraiser? Watch my short video and find out!
Another few minutes of no-nonsense advice from me regarding non-profit donors. This time, it’s about why asking can be gratifying.
My latest video explains the various reasons of “no” you might get from a donor. I also talk about what you’re missing out when you don’t ask.
