Your Givers need a Dynamic Destination! You need to know where you’re going to get there, right? I came across this message recently from Mike Dooley: It’s not the day you have to manage, but the moment. It’s not the dragon you have to slay, but the fear. And it’s not the path you have […]
You get to be you. So very much can happen, in a lifetime, or even on a single day of any lifetime. Yet I can assure you that whatever has or will happen in yours, when all is said and done and you take that final look over your shoulder you will understand that the […]
You were heard. In three weeks, three conferences and hundreds of conversations. It took these “events” to drive home this home for me. Events still matter. Not because of the centerpiece. Not because of the registration numbers. Not because of the paddle raise. In these three incredible conferences I was blessed to present alongside amazing […]
YOU are on my mind right now. Yes—you! Because we’re stepping into conference season. Packing your suitcase. Scanning the agenda. Wondering who you’ll run into. You can feel it, can’t you?

That happened recently while I was working with Tammy Hertzel, CEO of the YMCA of Mason City, Iowa, who is part of my MORE Major Gifts Accelerator coaching program. We […]
Just done sharing a webinar presentation for Crescendo Planned Giving with my friend and former client, Niki Chopra Richardson, Executive Director of TOArts. Our goal – sharing a message about asking for both! Leading with Legacy: Blended Asks — about helping donors combine immediate impact with lasting legacy. By the time you read this, the […]
If you only hug the people who are easy to love, your heart never grows — it just stays comfortable. Valentine’s Day makes love look easy. Chocolate hearts. Red roses. Kittens. Bunnies. Puppies. The people who make you smile without effort. The friends who finish your sentences. The donors who light up when you […]
Let me hear you…”My Time! My Turn! My World!” If something in you is stirring — a quiet nudge that says there’s more ease, more confidence, more joy available — I want you to trust that feeling.
