Event Objectives
The purpose of this session is to equip participants with practical tools and mindsets for effective leadership and fundraising in mission-driven organizations. It aims to help leaders communicate their vision to funders, inspire their teams, manage change, and lead projects and people toward meaningful results.
Background
This presentation is designed as a practical leadership and fundraising guide for professionals working in development, NGOs, and social enterprises. It blends insights from leadership literature, servant leadership philosophy, and organizational management frameworks.
The session walks participants through how to pitch to funders, craft venture plans, and align communication with different stakeholder styles. It also provides a Leadership Toolkit covering team building, decision-making, meeting management, conflict resolution, and leading change using models such as Tuckman’s stages, Situational Leadership, Kotter’s 8 Steps, and Bridges’ Transition Model.
The underlying message is that leadership is both a gift and a responsibility, to serve others, enable growth, and leave a meaningful legacy through purposeful, people-centered action.
