Are you showing up like a bull in a china shop? Approaching your work like a bulldozer? How’s that working for you? What would happen if you stopped and took the temperature of the room? Is it hot?

How you show up in your organization can influence your ability to build alliances with people around you, and for fundraising to prosper, you need to build all the alliances you can.

While friction is essential for progress, how do you work within that conflict in a way that helps people get on board?

In this episode Kimberley and Paul talk about shifting into servant leadership, seeking understanding, finding champions, telling stories and bringing the entire team onside to help you build successful fundraising programs.

It is not always easy and it certainly takes time, but this work can make all the difference in your ability to be successful in your current role.
