“I felt an immediate impact on my fundraising skill set. You really lit an inspirational fire under my colleagues and me.”

Our team put Anne’s practical training to work immediately. They have negotiated gifts with more confidence and success! In fact, one of our deans here just utilized some of Anne’s techniques receive her first $1 million gift commitment.  Anne’s fees are very reasonable, she is easy to work with, and it has already been a great return on our investment.

“I want Anne to write a book. I'd read it every day. She's brilliant.”

 
She was fantastic: funny, memorable, well prepared, and useful.  The Art (and Science) of Persuasion….everything about those 60 minutes was designed to stick to the practitioners brains. Her session was hopeful and encouraging – which fundraising often is not. She was extraordinary.

"Anne was a very engaging speaker and presented in an easy-to-follow way.”

Anne came highly recommended as a speaker, and she delivered! Her dynamic style kept her presentations lively and engaging. A true professional, the knowledge and experiences that Anne shared demonstrated her mastery of the art and science of planned giving and development work. In addition, she was a joy to work with in the year of planning leading up to our annual conference.  Conference attendees were so impressed that we are keeping Anne on our list of future speakers.

“One of the best conference sessions I've attended. Anne was excellent - funny, engaging, great and very specific examples.”

I’m always struck by how much information you manage to pull out of me before weighing in with your thoughts, and then the questions you pose to push me further.
