I finally got a job offer! And I thought of your advice so much, about envisioning a situation – and I did, and it worked, and you’re my heroine! Thank you so much for being so helpful and kind during what was a very difficult time. Hope you’re still enjoying your fabulous self!

Great overview for board members. I wish I could have convinced some of mine to attend!

All those who are new to being on a board would benefit from this.

This is a great introduction on what is required when sitting on a board.

This webinar brought up some new details for our board. We are covering 99% of this, but great to learn more about that 1% we can work on and also always improve on other elements. Thank you

The webinar exceeded my expectations. I wish our whole board could have participated.

Wow! A great webinar and I am so excited to share this info with my executive team!

This webinar was a great resource for best practice knowledge of board development. I am excited to take many of the things I learned and the shared tools and use them in the field with my Board of Directors. I highly recommend this for anyone in governance or who engages with your organisation’s board.

Organized, creative use of interactive polls, encouraged questions and comments so we learned from each other, excellent information!

How to Engage Your Board members provided excellent information that was easy to understand and implement. The documents and templates will be extremely helpful as we move forward.

For a current Board member, this is a helpful and refreshing review. I would recommend this as part of the Board review of its own effectiveness. Thanks so much!

This is the first time for our organisation to do a capital campaign and this was a great way to get started, good presentation and resources

Very good practical and usable tips! I feel confident in saying that we will be able to avoid some of the newbie pitfalls of capital campaigns because of the seminar.

Great overview of Capital Campaign for beginners.

It made me “back up” and think through some things that will be integral to our success. Just in time!

Even though I’ve been involved with capital campaigns before, this was good as a review with great reminders as we gear up as well being useful for someone just starting their first one. And love having access to the tools so I don’t have to resurrect past campaign materials.

This webinar was excellent. It far exceeded my expectations. I came away with practical applications to use with our capital campaign.

Great basic overview of how to start a Capital Campaign! Great methodical step-by-step approach!

Great information and practical advice on how to get started with a Capital Campaign!

Very useful information from a qualified expert. Lots of good ideas and food for thought. The templates look great too!

Thanks again. The presentation was great, and the material is perfectly timed for us!

The polls keep things interested. Presenter was very gracious about sharing information via the polling feature.

Absolutely essential for small non-profits where development office has many roles. Many ideas for planning introduced that I had not thought of. I believe this will greatly impact the success of our upcoming campaign.

Great presenter, good information that is very useful. I am not big fan of webinars but this one was excellent!

I wanted to share I sat in your webinar Making a Case for Support Webinar and it was excellent. I already used a number of your suggestions to enhance my ability to build a case for support for one of my clients. Thank you!

We have already used your presentation to our advantage here in the office, having posted the seven categories of donors on the “upcoming challenges” bulletin board! Lots of good ideas.

Robin presented one of the more practical workshops that I have attended in a long-time.

Her presentation had excellent coverage of fundamentals as well as actionable development plans.

She provided a very practical and enthusiastic approach to key topic area.

We thoroughly enjoyed her workshop and learned quite a bit about organizing and presenting our case of support and case statements. We are now energized and ready to begin to organize our next capital campaign!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This morning was wonderful! Everyone was telling me how much they loved it. Would you believe all the evaluations came back with “excellent” plus several asked for “longer program”!

I just had the time to quickly peruse the Case and of course I’m blown away.  I have been trying to do this for over a year!!!!

You are by far the BEST speaker and all your handouts are wonderful.

Your webinar was one of the best I ever heard! It was informative, high energy, engaging and thought provoking!!”

You detailed all aspects of the Case and broke it down which made it so easy to understand. I have paid hundreds for the courses and I still did not understand it as I did through your webinar.”
