“I have been looking for fundraising training resources to use with my board for a while. I was delighted to learn from a colleague about the Asking Styles quiz and materials. I participated in a webinar with Brian, which provided many valuable tips for how to more successfully engage board members in our museum’s fundraising efforts. I then purchased each of the four Style trainings and asked board members to take the online quiz in preparation for a recent meeting.

Much to my surprise everyone took the quiz ahead of time and enthusiastically shared their Asking Styles with the group. I then facilitated an activity (and Brian graciously answered a few questions to help me!) in which board members broke into smaller groups and discussed how they could most effectively fundraise, using their individual Asking Style strengths, and also how they could partner with one another to participate in donor solicitations. The activity was a huge hit! Afterwards I followed up with each board member and sent them training resources pertinent to their Asking Style. I’m looking forward to continuing to use the Asking Styles resources to more successfully engage our board in the year ahead as fundraisers and ambassadors."
