Speaking At Your Next Event

I do what I love and I love to speak about what I love.

Whether speaking in front of a large audience, small private event or virtually to thousands of participants around the world, I bring not only my sector and subject expertise and knowledge but also a sense of humor. Laughter is not only the best therapy but it’s also a wonderful educational tool.

Thousands of my presentation attendees are now armed with the tools to implement what they learned right away and reap success.

I speak about a wide range of nonprofit topics, including:

🟣 Fundraising and marketing strategy
🟣 Social media engagement and strategy
🟣 Digital storytelling
🟣 Email fundraising and marketing
🟣 Building donor relationships through gratitude
🟣 Communications and media outreach
🟣 Millennials and fundraising
🟣 Content creation

ALL of the above are tied to fundraising in my talks. Fundraising and marketing are not stand alone topics that exist in a vacuum. My goal is to help your organization build more relationships, increase donations, serve more people and have more impact.

I have spoken at AFP ICON and OneCause’s Raise fundraising conference. I have presented webinars for Bloomerang, DonorSearch Masterminds Series, Qgiv, numerous AFP chapters, Foundant Technologies, Kenissa Networks, the Des Moines Fundraising Institute and more. (See below.)

I would love the opportunity to speak at your next upcoming event. Please fill in the form with event details and I will be in touch shortly.
