Empower Charities, Elevate Leaders

I have led strong, dynamic teams with warmth, curiosity, a passion for the charitable sector and genuine affection for its workers.  I’ve helped charities develop fundraising talent by stabilizing teams, identifying gaps and training professionals.

By identifying and incubating emerging leaders, I’m able to create plans for coaching and mentoring, helping them grow into experienced charity professionals.

CERTIFICATIONS

CULTIVATING KNOWLEDGE

I have had the privilege of sharing my expertise by teaching courses and programs including:

  • the Association of Fundraising Professionals’ Fundamentals of Fundraising

  • the Certified Fundraising Executive Course

  • guest lecturing in the Non-Profit Management course in the Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Winnipeg

  • communications courses at the University of Winnipeg’s Professional, Applied and Continuing Education Program.

COACHING LEADERS

As a graduate of Royal Roads University’s Graduate Certificate Program for Executive Coaching, I partner with professionals from all walks of life to define their why, confirm their executive presence and step into their power as leaders.

WHO I WORK WITH:

  • aspiring leaders: those who may not yet know they are leaders

  • emerging leaders: those who are on a track to executive management

  • and experienced leaders: in both the for-profit and charitable sectors.

I have had the pleasure of learning from Kristine Betker while completing the process of becoming a Certified Fundraising Executive. Kristine was an extremely motivating and encouraging mentor. Her guidance and positive demeanor throughout the examination process demonstrated her extensive experience in navigating donor relations and ethical best practices. I continue to regularly consult with Kristine because I value her opinion and appreciate her genuine care and commitment to my success.
