Patrick Kirby: Do Good Better Consulting

Episode Notes

Patrick Kirby is the founder of Do Good Better Consulting and is a firm believer that “we’ve always done it this way” is the most dangerous phrase in the English language. HE has spent over a decade working at every capacity in a non-profit industry and organizations in all shapes and sizes and strives to do good better everyday. 

Key Takeaways:

• Fundraising never ends - you have to fall in love with the process in order to survive in the nonprofit industry. 
• Take a time-out to build morale, to affirm people with encouragement, and to show your donors where their money is going. 
• Don’t turn compliments away - learn to accept it and utilize those moments into productivity. 
• Be honest, if you don’t know the answer to a question - say “I don’t know, can I get back to you on that?” Doing so will open up an opportunity for another conversation and therefore, a better connection. 

“Always celebrate your wins. People want to be associated with winners.” - Patrick Kirby
