Ever felt like you're wearing a mask in your fundraising role? I have. In my recent chat with Mallory Erickson, we pulled back the curtain on the real struggles and triumphs of nonprofit professionals. From battling burnout to embracing alignment, we dove deep into the heart of what makes fundraising both challenging and rewarding. Mallory shared several practical strategies that we can implement immediately:Cultivate curiosity: When faced with resistance or fear, get curious about where those feelings are coming from. This can help create space for new possibilities.Acknowledge discomfort: Recognize that feeling uncomfortable is normal in fundraising. Not all discomfort is bad – sometimes it's a sign we're growing or staying true to our values.Focus on removing barriers: Instead of always trying to add new strategies, look at what's holding you back and work on removing those obstacles.Prioritize and focus: Mallory shared how she grew fundraising by 10 times in six months by focusing intensely on one area (corporate partnerships) rather than trying to do everything at once.What if I told you that your fundraising fears are not only normal but could be the key to unlocking your potential?Listen to this juicy episode and then share it with everyone. It's a must-listen for every nonprofit pro!Guest: Mallory Erickson, Executive Coach, Fundraising Consultant, Author, Host of the Podcast What the FundraisingResources: Show notes, links, and resources mentioned in this episode.Review my show: Please review my show.
