Missions to Movements Celebrating Failures: A New Approach to "Pluck Ups" with Liz Bohannon (Monthly Giving Summit Keynote Speaker)
Nonprofits need to stop playing it safe.
Liz Bohannon (our keynote speaker for the upcoming 2025 Monthly Giving Summit!) is here to share her take on embracing perceived failures, or as she calls them, "Pluck Ups."
What if failure wasn't something to fear, but something to celebrate?
Liz shares how the stories we tell ourselves about setbacks can either lead to shame and isolation or open doors to resilience and growth. She recounts a powerful moment when she misinterpreted an audience member’s reaction during a talk, only to later realize they were creating art inspired by her words.
This episode will challenge you to rethink your approach to risk-taking and storytelling, and teach you all about “failure funerals.” Because here’s the thing: impact-driven work requires BOLDNESS, vulnerability, and a willingness to "pluck up."
Plus, get a sneak peek into what Liz has planned for her keynote at the Monthly Giving Summit… an event you won’t want to miss! RSVP for FREE here.
