Nonprofit leaders and fundraisers work with me to quiet their dread, clean up their money stories, discover their own version of compelling, and raise the money they need to resource their work.My clients come to me:🔅  In secret dread and shame about how much they HATE ASKING FOR MONEY. They might spend a lot of time staring at the phone or the send button … but be paralyzed and unable to get started.🔅  Exhausted from a culture that screams DO MORE WITH LESS! And then, when they do, screams, NOW: do even more with even less!🔅  Knowing they love the mission and impact of their nonprofit work, but still feel burned out and overextended. Many have trouble saying no.🔅  With constant guilt about what they know they “should” be doing to build a fundraising program.🔅  Some days, they have NO IDEA where to begin.🔅  They might find work seeping into their personal lives. Or possibly the other way around. But either way, it’s not great.What they really want is to feel like they are making the difference they want in the world, to find some balance and some ease, and to stop hating big parts of their job. What they need are skills, the confidence that comes from authenticity, and the space to untangle their dread. They need to be able to resource and fund their organizations.When I work with clients, we follow some simple steps:1)      You will clean up your money story, and understand how it holds you back.2)      You will put down your preconceived ideas of what a fundraiser is “supposed to” look like and say, and you will learn to create from what’s compelling about you.3)      We will create a plan for leadership and fundraising that includes activities that you and your team and board have an appetite for. 4)      You will learn skills of great fundraising: storytelling, connecting to purpose, reading the space, deep listening and a powerful ask.At the end of an engagement, my clients shift what they believe about money and about asking so that they can have impact. They know how to tell stories, light up their donors’ hearts, and make the money they need – without apology.I offer:-One on one fundraising and leadership coaching and consulting with nonprofit leaders-Ten-week fundraising trainings for teams-Trainings in story telling and money story work for boards-With my Fundraising Leadership team, training in Positive Intelligence; Candor, Conflict and Building Trust; Accountability; and Help for New Managers-Donor-Ready Communications: Tell your story in a way that will compel your donors to open their wallets
