?? Maryanne Dersch
Master the art of influence and raise more money without feeling rejected or pushy!
"HELP! I have fourth quarter crazies!"
It's that time of year when things can seem overwhelming.
This year we have a trifecta of overwhelm. First is the typical holiday busyness. Second, the fourth-quarter pressure of fundraising, when most of the nonprofit fundraising revenue is generated. And third, a level of social interaction we haven't had since 2019.?
When the pressure rises, so do the thoughts in our head.?

And hey, our brains job is to think, so it is doing its job!?You can't stop your brain from thinking.
What you can do is retrain your brain to create thoughts that serve you better.
In this week's episode of The Influential Nonprofit, I share more about the monkey mind and how to shift your thinking to create more calm.?
