“In the 4 years I have been working with Paul, he has had an extraordinary impact on my personal and professional growth. He has provided guidance and resources that have been invaluable in qualifying, cultivating and soliciting major donors. He has also encouraged me to advocate for and build a role that helps my organization and is personally meaningful for me. My promotion wouldn't have happened without his encouragement, and I am a better fundraiser, leader and person because of my work with Paul.”

Lauren Rosenberg, Senior Director Individual Giving, Facing History and Ourselves

“I have worked as a fundraiser at impactful organizations, and I know my work has added value. But I really struggled to determine what personal strengths or specific strategies had contributed to my success. I wanted to continue to grow as a manager, gift officer, and leader, but without a strong sense of self, I felt stuck.

Paul helped me ask and answer thoughtful questions: What key lessons have I learned across a decade of fundraising? What do I enjoy most about development? What do I bring to my daily practice that makes me unique? As a result, I was able to articulate what I wanted next in my career, and to pursue those goals with confidence. I grew because I finally understood where I was rooted.”

“Paul’s coaching practice has allowed me to identify and articulate my strengths, craft a powerful vision for reaching my next career goal, and advocate for recognition and growth in a large alumni relations and development organization.  Paul’s generous yet direct, deft, and lucid approach has provided me with a toolkit tailored to my professional needs. Every session has brought a win at my workplace and helped me voice my worth as a valuable colleague, contributor, and leader. I am grateful to Paul for his decades of success in fundraising and management, which he brings to every single session.”
