I will admit that I sat, staring at the blank page for a few minutes trying to imagine a less trite way of starting this testimonial. But I really can’t – I am not exaggerating when I say that taking Geoffrey’s course has transformed the way I understand power, philanthropy and fundraising. I have said more than once that this course is a game changer- the opportunity to get the keys, or the secret access, to an invaluable set of knowledge and techniques. I now have the tools and the fundamentals to enter philanthropic spaces with my eyes wide open. I feel powerful in those spaces- powerful because of how Geoffrey has helped me frame and own my power and powerful because I know what I am looking for, when to listen, when to ask and when to speak. I really cannot imagine a more useful course for anyone that has a mission and is looking for the tools, the community and the support to translate it from their heart/mind into good trouble that catalyzes change.
