Summary
How do nonprofits effectively engage a Chief of Staff to build deeper relationships with top donors and family offices that ultimately drive revenue growth? There is no better person to discuss this topic than the founder of Next Level Coaching, Emily Sander. A member of the team that created the original Amazon Kindle, Emily has experienced firsthand what it is like to field inquiry after inquiry for something everyone wants to collaborate with. Many times, nonprofits look past the very people who are in the room when donors, philanthropists, and family offices make strategic decisions on giving. Effectively engaging a chief of staff and the personnel around a major donor is equally, if not more critically important than the principal themselves. Emily provides incredible insights on donor and principal engagement, including tips on building strong relationships with a Chief of Staff, how Chief of Staffs are the ultimate dot connectors, engaging a Chief of Staff in the event planning process, the importance of having a backup plan, and so much more. This is one episode you will definitely not want to miss.
