Plenary
Curtain up! Spotlights on! Regardless of which role you are in, active asking is an essential skill that you will need as a development professional. This workshop will help equip you for success. We will use small group role plays and scenarios so that you rehearse and practice in a safe space, establishing rapport and engaging the interest of potential donors, elegantly engaging with them so that you can comfortably, and respectfully, ask for their gift and continuing support.
Competency Cluster: Global and Cultural Competence, Relationship Building, Emotional Intelligence, Strategic Thinking, Integrity and Professionalism
