Speaking, Training, and Workshops
Thoughtful, insightful, encouraging
Whether it’s a conference session, full day workshop, or board and staff training, I design a customized program based on your audience. Participants leave inspired and courageous, ready to implement actionable strategies they can employ right away.
I combine the body of fundraising knowledge and coaching experience with the latest industry research, learning styles for adult professionals, and active audience participation. Whether it’s a full-day presentation or a 90-minute workshop, you’ll get engaged and share your own lived experiences and knowledge. Whenever possible, I use small group activities to encourage questions and in-depth exploration of topics.
