There are so many areas where just a one-time training, presentation or workshop can give you the understanding and oomph you need to move forward.
Do you need to:
- Energize your board?
- Invigorate your staff?
- Build a team around a common purpose?
- Develop a greater comfort level around fundraising? Technology?
- Rejuvenate your branding and identity strategy?
- Figure out why what you’re doing isn’t working?
- Identify and/or resolve a problem or underlying issue that’s become a road block?
- Discover where you’re on the same page, and where you’re not?
- Develop and practice kick-ass fundraising pitches?
- Brainstorm how to retain more donors?
- Brainstorm sponsors for your next event?
There are many things we can do together. If you need inspiration, I suggest you check out my Clairification articles. Scan the topics I’ve posted on and see if any of them might meet your needs for a keynote, group pow-wow or even a half-day or one-day workshop.
Prior to a training session, workshop or speaking engagement I will:
- Schedule a conference call with you to understand your goals and what you would like participants to take away.
- Develop customized, interactive content to meet your specific goals.
- Prepare hand-out materials for participants to refer to either before or after the session, or both.
If training or some sort of presentation or group facilitation may be right for you, the best thing is for us to talk. There’s no obligation, of course. Let’s find out! You can contact me to explain your needs or grab a time for a free 15-minute exploratory phone call.
