Having previously attended one of Kathy’s trainings, I recruited her to be a speaker for our Shriners Children’s philanthropy conference that reaches 180 development staff at all our locations in the United States, Mexico and Canada. She received rave reviews and was considered one of our best speakers, returning to present for a second year. She is also conducting a series of virtual trainings for Shriners this summer. … Kathy has the ability to relate her experience in academia and healthcare to a human level, engaging staff members of all levels of skill. Even in a crowded room of people, she builds a personalized and intimate connection through her training style. She understands Shriners — that we’re a complex organization with different nuances and international fundraising rules to follow, and tailors her content and approach to us. Kathy’s dynamic training style is the perfect approach to assisting us in our training needs.
