With accountability and coaching, you will take measurable steps in accomplishing your vision.
Hard coaching work will pay off.Ā You will see your vision happen.
Why You? Why Now?
It can get a bit discouraging and overwhelming
……in your work AND life.
You aren’t alone.Ā IĀ can help.
“I have an impossible job. There isĀ never enough timeĀ to get it all done.ā
āItās hard to get to major donors when there is so much other work to do.
āI see so many opportunities, but I struggle to just get our event done.ā
āI donāt know how to evaluate what to take on or what to say, āNoā to and how.
“I feel like I don’t see my family at all during the holidays.”
āMy Board is really not excited about fundraising.ā
āWe areĀ spread so thinĀ already and our dollar goals keep going up.ā
We are driven to do Good. But we are driven crazy by such full plates!
āThere is nothing more rewarding for me than the impact of just one new major gift.ā
āI know what we could do with more resources.ā
āWhen I can plan, even a bit, it makes such a difference!ā
āWhen I get the right kind of accountability it can actually be fun to see my results.ā
āFor the first time ever, we are going toĀ plan out our overall advancement work, and stick to that plan!ā
And this is your roller-coaster life, isnāt it?
Frustration and joy all rolled into the same day,
or perhaps the same hour!
You are expected to do it all and, by the way, youād like to have a life too.
I get it. Iāve been there.
I want to help you succeed and coaching with me might be the answer.
Training is great….but it’s not enough because you are left to figure out how to apply what you’ve learnedĀ on your own.
Thousands of nonprofit professionals have attended my webinars and workshops.Ā I am delighted and humbled to get reviews that are overwhelmingly positive!Ā And they make changes and have some success! WoHOO!Ā Yet, sometimes figuring out how to keep the energy and apply what is learned to your unique situation can be hard. We come back to our overflowing plate and physically or electronically āshelveā the materials. Taking the next step after getting any training can be challenging.Ā That’s where coaching comes in!
“It’s not enough to know the best practices. I need someone to show me how to implement them andĀ how to deal with specific problems within my organization.”
“After I get training, I always think, ‘Is this right for us?Ā Should we do this?Ā What’s most important?’ And I don’t do anything.”
Thatās why I offer this YEAR LONG major-giving and life coaching program to serve you at a more personal level. To meet you where you are right now.
You see, what you really need is a coach.
Sometimes you wantĀ someone who provides a different perspective. Someone you can bounce things off ofĀ and talk through ideas. Someone who is knowledgeable and can really give you solid counsel. Coaching combines training, advising and mentoring. You get āHow Toā advice and help to find your own inner game stuck spots.
AND SOMEONE WHO HOLDS YOUR
FEET TO THE FIRE! (In a good way!)
As your coach I will:
By participating in this group program, you not onlyĀ get my 1:1 coaching but also the partnership and suggestions from your fellow participants. Sometimes, we think we are unique snowflakes – that there is not another nonprofit or situation that looks just like us. You’ll be amazed at how a similar situation sparks an answer for you!
You can join with a one-time payment (a MUCH better investment!) or we have a payment plan.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF…….
You can begin now.Ā I will meet you where you areā¦.and that is a different place for everyone.
Ok, what you can expect from the program?
