SPEAKING & WORKSHOPS

My speaking and workshops are designed for nonprofit leaders who want more than just inspiration—they want direction. Whether I’m on stage or in a small group setting, I bring clarity, strategy, and heart to the conversation. I speak directly to the realities of leading mission-driven work: the pressure, the passion, the purpose—and how to move forward with all three. My sessions are grounded, practical, and created to help leaders feel less alone and more equipped.

Signature Keynote

Breaking the Scarcity Cycle: Funding your mission without selling out or playing small

 

Why does it always feel like there’s never enough?
So many nonprofit leaders live in constant fundraising mode—trying to meet growing needs with shrinking resources. This session is for organizations that are ready to break that cycle.
 

We’ll talk honestly about what’s really driving the funding gap: not just donor behavior, but internal narratives, scarcity thinking, and burnout culture that unintentionally hold organizations back. You’ll learn how to shift your mindset, engage donors from a place of abundance, and unlock new, aligned revenue streams without sacrificing your team, your mission, or your values.
 

This session is especially for leaders who are ready to:
 

  • Attract more committed donors

  • Increase giving levels with integrity

  • Stop running their team (and themselves) into the ground

  • Build long-term sustainability—including endowments and legacy gifts

  • Lead from vision, not desperation

Sheree is currently accepting speaking and workshop engagements for Fall 2025, Winter 2026 and beyond.

Workshop Topics

Actionable, interactive, and designed to create movement inside the organization
 

1. Funding with Integrity
Practical strategies to increase giving, engage donors, and build sustainability—without burnout
 

2. Creative Giving & Endowment Readiness
Unlocking long-term revenue through legacy giving and strategic donor engagement
 

3. Building Board + Staff Alignment
Clarifying roles, reducing friction, and building trust that actually fuels the mission
 

4. What’s Blocking Your Mission?
Uncovering the mindsets, habits, and organizational dynamics that keep you stuck—and how to shift them
 

5. Conscious Fundraising
A heart-centered, ethical approach to major gifts, donor conversations, and building authentic relationships
 

6. Leadership Circles (Mini Series)
A facilitated experience for executive directors or founders to work through key growth areas together—mindset, money, mission, and sustainability

​

Most nonprofit leaders don’t land on a speaking or workshop page just looking for inspiration—they’re carrying real questions:
 

  • How do I fix this disconnect in my team?

  • Why aren’t we raising more money?

  • Why does this feel so hard all the time?

  • Is it just me? Am I doing something wrong?

  • Why aren’t we bringing in more funding—even though we’re working so hard?

  • How do I get my board and staff aligned?

  • Am I the only one who feels overwhelmed and under-supported?

  • Are we ready to grow, or are we just barely holding it together?

  • Should we have an endowment? And, how do I start one?

  • Am I compliant? Is this how we're supposed to do it?

  • How do I lead with confidence when everything feels uncertain?
     

These are the questions my sessions are built to answer. Every topic I offer is designed to address what nonprofit leaders are truly facing—funding challenges, leadership pressure, board dynamics, and the constant push to do more with less. My goal is to meet leaders where they are, offer clarity and direction, and remind them they’re not alone in the work.
