About Southern Philanthropy and Ben Starling III

HOW CAN I HELP YOU OR YOUR ORGANIZATION?

Does your group have large-scale fundraising dreams, but is unsure of where to start or how to plan?  Has your organization set goals repeatedly, failed to reach them? Have you wished you had someone to help get it back on track?

What’s your dream?  What does your organization wish to accomplish in grand style?  Those two questions stump most people.  However, they do not stop someone on a mission or someone who knows his or her purpose in life.   Let me help you and your group put solid foundations under those dreams.  We can brainstorm together, and define a concise goal with specific plans to realize it.

For those wishing to soar professionally, do you have a strategy to reach the next level of your career?   Do you have the right people in your inner circle?   Who appears on your VIP list?  What techniques are you using to systematically and meaningfully connect and engage — and retain those relationships?

As with most anything in life, a coach, tour guide, instructor, mentor, teacher, or trusted advisor is needed to help take you to a place you have never been.  Having someone to lead you on the correct path and shine a light to guide your steps ensures that missteps, miscalculations, and stumbles are greatly lessened, if not eliminated.  Simply put, you will be using my expertise to work smarter, not harder.
