Virtual Wine Up Wednesday: Dealing with Difficult People

Wine Up Wednesday

ABOUT THE TOPIC:

Whether a coworker, supervisor, or donor, development professionals deal with a variety of people every day, some easy and some not so easy. Bring stories of your challenging relationships and we will workshop ways to improve your relationship -- and when to jettison it.

FREE


These monthly programs provide an opportunity for development professionals and other nonprofit executives and volunteers with responsibility for raising revenue for their organization to talk about a specific topic in a relaxed, informal environment. The format includes a brief overview of the topic at hand with an opportunity for individuals to share their experiences and learn from each other. Great opportunity to network as well! In nonpandemic times (hopefully starting in June or July!), we gather over a glass of wine. Until then, we will use Zoom to gather virtually ... and feel free to bring your own wine!

Virtual Coffee Break

Virtual Coffee Break

Fundraising, development, and nonprofit work is lonely in the best of times, but even more so now that we have to practice social distancing, even more torturous for the extraverts in the group! I found that just seeing a face and talking to someone other than my family (who I love dearly, but really … 24/7?!) makes the day go a little faster and my mood brighter.

So in that vein, I decided to host a series of FREE virtual coffee breaks. No agenda, just a time to get together and talk about what’s on your mind. We can share fundraising tips, tips about surviving while we shelter-in-place, or just chit chat. So bring your favorite beverage and sign in at the allotted time and chat with others in your shoes. Kids and pets welcome!

Registration required. Once you register you will be emailed Zoom meeting details.
