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 specific steps and with 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, active audience engagement, and participation. Whether it’s a full-day presentation or a 90-minute workshop, you’ll engage with the material and be invited to share your own relevant lived experiences and knowledge. Whenever possible, I use small group activities to encourage questions and in-depth exploration of topics.
