How can anyone improve their fundraising skills and results? In this first episode of Fundraising Bright Spots, Rob Woods explains a powerful tactic he has been using to help charity fundraisers grow their results over the last two decades. He explores the power of modelling or ‘searching for bright spots’ and shares the most common reason we tend to run out of steam too early when trying to get better at a fundraising skill. Rob describes the particular steps he took early in his career, to improve his confidence in telling stories and he mentions some of the inspiring ‘bright spots’ he will be interviewing later in this series. He also explains four simple things any determined fundraiser could do to help them enjoy increased confidence and progress in their work.
