In today’s nonprofit environment, fundraising professionals and leaders are being asked to navigate constant change, growing demands, and increasing uncertainty, all while staying mission-focused and leading with confidence. Join the AFP FL, First Coast Chapter for a powerful and highly engaging half-day seminar with Ken Miller focused on two essential ingredients for long-term success in our field: self-esteem and resilience.

Throughout this inspiring program, Ken will guide participants through practical strategies to strengthen confidence, manage stress, and build the mindset needed to thrive personally and professionally. The first session will explore the connection between self-esteem and success in the nonprofit sector, introducing actionable tools to cultivate confidence, overcome challenges, and maintain a growth mindset in demanding environments.
The second session will focus on resilience in the face of both expected and unexpected challenges.
