Training

We are so lucky to have Mary as a coach and consultant for our nonprofit professional members. She helps our members with storytelling, persuasive copywriting in direct and email appeals, public speaking, and so much more. She has been a vital part of increasing our members' fundraising revenue year after year. She is one of our most requested consultants. We hear over and over again how much our members love her valuable lessons, helpful suggestions, her encouraging ways, and, most of all, the fantastic results they get after working with her.

Our appeals for donations were getting terrible response rates. One of the Professional Associations we belong to arranged for us to meet with Mary. She was AMAZING. She offered strong critiques, industry secrets, and suggested best practices we could use immediately. From that (very) short meeting, we completely transformed our appeals. The result was a 300% increase in response rate! I can't say enough about Mary - personable, professional and brilliant.  Dana Johnson, Executive Director, Food Now

Mary is a master and has a very effective communication style that connects well with students. She is quick with useful observations and suggestions for students and a wizard with words. This particular talent is pretty amazing, and so helpful for entrepreneurs in learning to tell a compelling story. Class was always well-paced and invited interaction and conversation so that classmates also learned from one another. Mary is organized and confident, and approaches lessons with a sunny, upbeat personality. Even as a seasoned professional, I learned a lot from Mary!

It has been my privilege to work with Mary over the last seven years when I needed assistance with my written communications. She asks the right questions, is very creative, and she has made my work better every time. Her willingness to work with others on my team has made us all better and we are happy to recommend her to our clients! John Epps, Director, Center for Nonprofit Advancement
