Episode Description
I recently saw a fantastic presentation from the director of development for the Special Olympics in Colorado. presentation, I question myself, what are all the nonprofit professionals who speak like her in public with the ability to adapt a speech for the audience with confidence, saying a big breakthrough tells storytelling, keeping short and sweet, able to modulate to avoid engaging the audience and above all being yourself. Jan Radnoti is the director of development for the Special Olympics in Colorado. She has more than 14 years on her belt working with Special Olympics in California and Colorado. She primarily works with law enforcement agencies throughout the state in raising awareness and fundraising for over 15,500 Special Olympics, Colorado athletes.
There's so many different goals that she has, when she publicly speaks, it isn't making the sale every time, it's planting that seed. That's really what it's about. If you can really focus on the passion that you have for the nonprofit you work for, that passion should help you get over that self-criticism. Because all you are, you are a messenger for your nonprofit.
