Description

Yes, meaningful conversations are a must if you want effective solutions for your nonprofit strategies.

I know. It's easier for many nonprofit leaders to just ask, "Can you just make me a fundraising content calendar within the hour?"

But what if that fundraiser isn't really what your nonprofit needs to grow?

I know it can feel taxing to try and fit in a conversation about why you even want the fundraiser in the first place (because we always have one) or what the real outcome you want that fundraiser to have for your nonprofit (er, money?). But the immediate answers aren't always the right ones.

In this week's episode, Nonprofit Strategist Julie Platts guides me through how she goes deep with nonprofit clients to ask some of these specific questions. After all, she is a nonprofit strategist for a reason.

What you hear might surprise you. But chances are, it will also inspire you to slow down for a few shakes so you can speed up with efficiency with your strategies. There are a lot of 'a-ha!' moments in this episode. Believe me.

Plus, since Julie is also a consultant, she also shares with me some consultancy wisdom. We go deep on this too! I love how she talks about how she organizes her time and selects ideal clients.

Need I say more? Just listen. Believe me, you'll thank me ;)

What we discuss:
How to have those meaningful conversations with nonprofit leaders
What questions to ask nonprofits when prepping for strategic planning
Why services usually need to change during these deep dives
Why it's okay that these services change ;)
How to select ideal clients by using a 'warm' technique
Other amazing stuff that you just need to tune-in and listen to!
