Testimonials
““Catherine enabled Debra to develop our major donor programme. We were aiming to take prospects from our special event programme and cultivate them for major gifts. Catherine devised and delivered bespoke best practice training in major gift fundraising for the team, and provided 121 mentoring and sounding board advice on donor strategy. As a result, our major donor income grew by 5 times in a year and the team’s skills, knowledge and confidence have been transformed.”
Hugh Thompson, Director of Fundraising & Communications, Debra”
“I worked with Catherine for six years at Shelter. She had an excellent understanding of best practice in Major Gifts fundraising, and set and delivered a strategy that enabled us to significantly grow income. She developed a strong team, including spotting internal talent and successfully coaching Fundraisers into more senior roles.”
Alan Gosschalk, Director of Fundraising, Plan International UK
"I've worked with Catherine at three national charities to deliver coaching and development programmes for her teams, using Insights discovery profiles, team workshops and one to one coaching. Catherine is highly effective at developing teams' skills and their ability to work well together and across the organisation, driving increased performance. Her ability to identify what makes Fundraisers successful and the support each individual’s needs to develop has enabled her teams to build resilience, improve staff retention and raise more money. She is also very skilled at assessing when individuals and teams need to work on their personal and team effectiveness and how insights profiling can help with this.” Shaun Lincoln, Director, Shaun Lincoln Solutions Ltd
