About the Webinar

Charitable giving has reached an all-time high and shows no signs of slowing. For fundraising professionals, this offers both an opportunity and a challenge. An increased interest in philanthropy means more needs met, but also puts pressure on already resource-strapped nonprofits. Leaders are left wondering how to focus their time and energy for maximum impact.

Our research has consistently revealed that leadership development is both a lever for increasing community impact and a framework for navigating emerging environments. Join us for this webinar as we discuss how CCL’s 4 fundamental skills of leadership – communication, influence, learning agility, and self-awareness – can help create more impact and fundraising success. Together, we will discuss how fundraisers can further their mission and bring people together to solve critical social issues through effective leadership.

What You’ll Learn

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

  • How to practice authentic communication and listen for facts, feelings, and values
  • Tips to develop a range of more effective influencing skills
  • Tactics to maximize learning from on-the-job experiences (both good and bad)
  • How to increase self-awareness and become a better leader
