How To Be A Fundraising Leader

This workshop session will cover the key characteristics of high performing fundraising leaders. It draws on Bernard Ross’ coaching practice with the directors of some of the world’s largest fundraising charities – looking at what makes them outstanding and separates them from the just average. The session will not offer a simple formula, but suggest that successful fundraising leaders need to have some, if not all, of a number of characteristics.

Learning outcomes:

In a lively and interactive session we will cover:

• What makes an outstanding fundraising leader,
• Why focus is important,
• Why creativity is important,

• Building a high achieving culture.

The session will allow opportunities for delegates to interact with each other and share their own experience and skills.
