Imagine sitting across from a donor, and without saying a word, you can sense their hesitations, their hopes, and what truly drives their giving. That’s the power of emotional intelligence—and it could be your most underused tool in fundraising. In this session, we’ll explore how the ability to recognize, understand, and manage both your emotions and those of others can transform one-time gifts into lifelong donor partnerships. Emotional intelligence isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a strategic advantage. Whether you're building relationships with major donors or cultivating grassroots support, EQ can be the key that unlocks trust, connection, and commitment. Get ready to shift from transactional to transformational fundraising.
