2. Executive Coaching Tools that Will Revolutionize Your Fundraising with Mallory Erickson
In this episode, I delve into the reasons why integrating executive coaching tools in fundraising is a vital strategy. I explore our inner barriers that often hinder our actions and discuss the different styles of fundraising energies. I understand that fundraising is a deeply personal and vulnerable process, frequently triggering our nervous systems. By integrating executive coaching tools, understanding various fundraising styles, and practicing awareness and choice, I believe we can tackle the challenges of fundraising more effectively. I emphasize that even in those tough moments, we all have the power to shift our narratives and energy.
In this episode, you will learn:
The Role of Time and Resistance in Fundraising: I explore the common challenges in fundraising and acknowledge that scarcity of time can indeed be a real issue, but also that fundraising's discomfort often allows time to be used as an excuse for inaction.
Fundraising as a Personal Experience: I argue that fundraising is deeply personal and often activates our nervous systems. I discuss how activities like rejection, managing up to supervisors, and continuously validating our worth can trigger our nervous system and evoke feelings of vulnerability.
The Importance of Recognizing Emotions in Fundraising: I explain the importance of acknowledging the feelings triggered by fundraising and providing tools to handle self-doubt and imposter syndrome. I describe the phenomenon of the "gremlin" or self-critic and the protective role it plays in keeping us safe.
The Seven Styles of Fundraising: I introduce the concept of the "seven styles of fundraising," a transformation of the seven styles of leadership identified in the Energy Leadership Index.
Harnessing Energy Levels for Effective Fundraising: I talk about the importance of harnessing different styles of fundraising and choosing how to show up in different fundraising situations. I explain how the energy infused in communication can alter interactions with donors and the success of fundraising activities.
Transitioning from Catabolic to Anabolic Energy in Fundraising: I discuss the importance of supporting ourselves when our catabolic energy is activated and understanding how to down-regulate our nervous system to move into more anaerobic energy.
The Role of Executive Coaching in Fundraising: I argue that fundraising should always incorporate executive coaching tools due to the prevalence of self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism in fundraising. I mention how I teach to address thoughts and beliefs that might prevent action within my program, Power Partners.
