There's No Awesome Without "me" — or "we"
You've heard it before: there's no "I" in team. But here's the truth—you are on that team, and being a great teammate starts with knowing yourself. What motivates you? What drains your energy? What role do you naturally play? Donor relations professionals work across a wide range of personalities every day: donors, gift officers, campus partners, leadership, and teammates. In this interactive session, we'll flip the script on "there's no awesome without me" and explore how the best partnerships balance individual self-awareness with collective dynamics. Participants will learn practical tools to better understand themselves, navigate workplace friction, and tailor relationship strategies for different donor preferences. We'll examine when partnerships click, when they clash, and how understanding both the "me" and the "we" unlocks peak collaboration.
