He and I recently sat down for a conversation about philanthropy and leadership.In our discussion, we talk about how personal crisis shapes our work as leaders, the importance of values-based leadership, how the nonprofit sector is addressing issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and how fundraisers can address these complex topics with donors. Grab a cup of coffee and your favorite snack, and settle in for this insightful leadership conversation! Special thanks to our friends at 7-Figure Fundraising for sponsoring this important conversation with Franklin Guerrero! At 7-Figure Fundraising they teach fundraisers and nonprofit leaders how to craft and deliver fundraising pitches that consistently deliver more 6 and 7-figure gifts from donors. Right now they're offering a 5% discount to their next live (video) training program for our podcast listeners.
