Whether you work in business, a philanthropic, or non-profit organization, money is key to fulfilling your organization's mission. However, our feelings about money can be a source of anxiety and an obstacle to personal and organizational success.
Lynne creates a profound shift in the conventional perspective on money, enabling participants to release fear and self-doubt, and use new tools to shape a more satisfying relationship with money.
We will explore how the highest aspirations of our soul can be supported and nurtured by money, rather than subverted by the constant anxiety and quest for money that is the product of our consumer culture.
By looking closely at our own financial "story" and the ways our beliefs have limited and constricted us in our relationship with money, we are empowered to use money as an expression of our highest values and aspirations. As a result of this workshop, we will:
* Experience a new sense of freedom and joy in our relationship with money.
* Discover more wholesome ways to earn, save, spend and contribute money.
* Appreciate the power and presence of our existing resources.
This leads to a profound sense of both having and being enough - which in turn offers us a richer, more meaningful and happier life.
This workshop is also designed to empower you to fundraise with greater confidence and efficacy. Addressing the practical side of fundraising, you will learn to:
* Design successful fundraising strategies.
* Discover the essence and heart of your organization's message.
* Build an effective, inspired, and winning team.
* Take care of investors so they stay with you for life.
You will become clear that fundraising can be the most exciting and fulfilling aspect of your work.
The truth is that you, or anyone with a passion for their cause, can be effective in asking others for money. You can learn to engage in compelling conversations about your organization and your initiative that inspire others to become part of your mission.
