Looking for an Eye Opening Presenter?
Looking for an engaging presenter? A speaker or workshop leader who gets people up and actively working with the material so they make it their own?
Do you want core content on high-level fundraising skills that will have people thinking about, talking about, and using what they learned long after they go home?
Or, are you looking for someone to teach your group about Intentional Conversations so they know how to go about asking for – and getting – what they want?
I’ve given hundreds of workshops, trainings, and lectures all over the country to professional associations, conferences, and boards. And I’ve learned to work with groups large and small in clear, thought-provoking, and engaging ways.
Let’s talk to see what I can do for you.
Andrea presented her “Just Ask” workshop for our annual retreat for the entire University of North Carolina [175-person] development team.
Her logical and clever approach to the donor solicitation visit was an eye opener even for our most seasoned major gifts officers.
And her electrifying presentation style had everyone in the audience participating with questions, comments, laughter and applause.” —Eli Jordfald, CFRE, Senior Major Gifts Director – UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center

Andrea was one of the best presenters we’ve ever had. In fact, her evaluations were so good, I read them twice just to enjoy the sense of success. She engaged people fully. She knew her stuff inside and out. And she inspired every single student. We hope she’ll come again.” —Lillian Bailey, Program Manager: Academy for Nonprofit Excellence – Tidewater Community College
