Stoke The Fire Of Engagement: Part 1
Merriam-Webster declared "authentic" as word of the year for 2023 and I am here for it!
There's so much B.S., posing and filtering in the world! People crave and are attracted to authenticity.
The more authentic you are, the more BELIEVERS you attract. Believers give more than money. They give social capital, stories, lived experiences, time, expertise and connections.
In this week's The Influential Nonprofit, I talk with Becky Endicott, CFRE Endicott. Becky is a master storyteller and marketer. She co-founded We Are For Good, a new media company gathering nonprofit allies and change-makers in community and conversation to elevate, modernize, and humanize doing good.
I had such an amazing conversation with Becky I made this a two-parter! It was that good!
She talks about STOKING, meaning authentic engagement that leads to attracting believers! Whenever you post anything or tell a story, tag and involve people in your community who might be connected to that story. It is not about just posting content but starting a conversation.
“We're trying to move from thinking about ‘How do we cultivate a donor?’ to ‘How do we cultivate a believer?’, that is a 2.0 level of thinking in this modern era. Believers bring more to the table than donors. ”
