I help nonprofit leaders fundamentally change the way they lead and fundraise.
.
- You hate asking for money
- You wonder if you’re spending your time on the right things
- You have a fundraising ‘plan’ but everything still feels stressful and uncertain
- You find yourself getting less and less confident in your fundraising and leadership abilities as the years go on, and you’re wondering if nonprofits are the right sector for you
If so, you’ve come to the right place.
I have over a decade of experience working in every inch of the nonprofit sector – serving as the Development, Managing, and Executive Director in multiple organizations. In the last 7 years, I’ve been fundraising in the multiple 7 figures, every year. Through my signature framework, the Power Partners Formula™️, I now provide unique tools to help nonprofits fundraise more from foundations, corporate partners, and individuals without hounding them. I have trained over 20,000 fundraisers using this unique win-win framework, which combines best practices from executive coaching, science-backed behavior design, and fundraising strategy. It is the combination of those frameworks through a fundraising coaching lens that radically transforms the way that people lead and fundraise.
No more….
- Fundraising plan that never gets implemented
- Confusion and overwhelm around what ‘to dos’ to prioritize in your work
- Uncertainty about who you are as a leader or how you can step into an embodied and emboldened version of yourself
- Exhaustion and dread in your day-to-day (can you imagine even being HAPPY in your job?)
Our work together starts with the Energy Leadership Index
Energy Leadership™ Assessment for Nonprofit Leaders
When I was a nonprofit Executive Director I knew that what I was doing (what we were all trained to do) wasn’t working. In an effort to stop the path of burnout that I was on I started investing in my Executive Coaching skills. Part of this led me to be certified as a coach in the Leadership Index Assessment (or Energy Leadership Index – ELI), which I have brought into the sector and use to help nonprofit executives discover their natural style of fundraising and how to harness it effectively.

HEAR FROM A FUNDRAISER JUST LIKE YOU
You don’t need one more fundraising plan. You need less resistance to take fundraising action.
Fundraising naturally causes resistance.
Why?
Because it requires uncertainty, risk, fear of rejection, actual ‘rejection’, etc. all of the things that make our lizard brain (and then our body) go wild because it perceives a ‘threat’ but can’t tell the difference between an email unsubscribe threat and ‘getting eaten in the woods’ threat.
This is what makes fundraising SO hard.
It’s not that the actions or the plan are that hard to implement, it’s that removing the resistance to implementation (and getting away from scattered spray fire fundraising) requires tools and skills that we are not typically taught in this sector.
That’s why Fundraising & Executive Coaching is game-changing for your fundraising results and leadership development.
