501(c) Success: with The Fundraising Coach, Marc Pitman

Major gift fundraisers and nonprofit leaders can be some of the most outspoken leaders. Until they talk to a donor. Then they get all tied up in knots and wishy-washy.

Join Fundraising and leadership expert Marc A. Pitman to learn how you can stop doing that. In this talk, you'll learn how to turn the tables on your self-doubt and speak truth to people in powerful positions. Speaking truth without compromising an iota of integrity. 
 
You'll learn:
- How to thwart imposter syndrome and rest in a quiet confidence
- The deceptive power of leading with curiosity rather than certainty
- Why donors distrust nonprofits that only have good reports
- How to have asking conversations that are customized to the donor without compromising your nonprofit's mission
 
A program of the 501(c) Success National Speaker Series. This series brings prominent thought leaders to Kansas City to discuss the latest nonprofit research and trends.
