Conferences and events.
A full list of speaking engagements is coming soon.
Topics Michelle speaks on.
Individual Giving Strategy
Building and scaling donor programs — from first principles to nine-figure operations. What separates high-performing programs from the rest.
Mid-Level Giving
The most underleveraged segment in most programs. How to identify, cultivate, and upgrade mid-level donors — and why most organizations are leaving significant revenue on the table.
Digital Transformation in Fundraising
Integrating digital into traditional programs — what works, what doesn't, and how to build a digital program that generates real revenue rather than vanity metrics.
US Best Practice — Applied Globally
What UK and Australian nonprofits can learn from the US development model — and how to selectively apply those lessons in different donor cultures and regulatory environments.
Membership & Regular Giving
Building recurring revenue programs that last — acquisition, retention, upgrade, and the operational infrastructure that sustains a large regular giving portfolio.
Scaling for Growth
The strategic and structural shifts required to move a program from small to large — what changes, what stays the same, and how to manage the complexity of scale.
