Building relationships is one of the most powerful investments you can make—in leadership, business, and life.

In this interactive Learning Lab, Coach Michael Sgro explores how authentic connection, generosity, and intentional relationship-building can open doors to meaningful partnerships, sponsorships, and philanthropic support—without relying on traditional networking or cold solicitation.

CEOs, Executive Directors, Development professionals, and anyone involved in building partnerships will learn how to recognize potential donors, vendors, and sponsors; identify behaviors that signal generosity and partnership potential; and use intuition, emotional intelligence, and problem-solving skills to navigate conversations and avoid philanthropic dead ends.

Because successful fundraising isn’t just about asking for money—it’s about building relationships that create reasons to say yes. All are welcome to attend.
