Season 2, Episode 15
This week Jack is joined by Scotty Jackson, Executive Director of YMCA Camp Seymour and YMCA Camp Lake Helena AND Jack's old boss. They are talking about the differences of communication among ages and times, fundraising, and the art of a good story.
This episode dives into how young camp professionals can get their foot in the door (metaphorically and literally) while sharing the value of being able to tell a good story. They go so far as to say this story sharing skill helps not only with campers, but for potential donors and your board too!
If you're looking for an entry level lesson on large donor fundraising, this is the pod for you.
Producer EmJ's Takeaways:
- Sometimes we hear what people want and we know we can't provide that. But when we take a moment to dig deeper into their "why" behind their "what", that may be what you can offer.
- I need a good rocking chair.
- "I'm interested in your advice and counsel" is a good place to start.
