Why People Give
What thousands of fundraising events reveal about donor psychology, and how your organization can use it in its next campaign.
Speaking
A TEDX voice on why people give.
Talks for nonprofit leaders, boards, business audiences and conferences on generosity, persuasion and the courage to take the stage. (This was the first TEDX ever outdoors, and underneath Portugal waterfalls. No glitz, no glamor, just impact.)
TEDx talk
Your personal performance was vulnerable and authentic, yet extremely powerful.
Talks
Three talks, one throughline: people give to people.
Each talk is built for a specific room — a board retreat, a conference keynote, a leadership offsite — and each one leaves the audience with something they can use on Monday.
Own Your Stage
Practical tools for leaders who need to persuade, whether the stage is a boardroom, a ballroom or a screen.
Reinvent on Purpose
Losing two years of business in a single day in March 2020, and what rebuilding from the stage to the strategy desk teaches about reinvention.
