Hear it from our Next Level Talent Alumni
- "Under Sherry's mentorship, I evolved from someone overwhelmed by the demands of fundraising to a confident individual who can now walk into a room and proudly introduce themselves as a fundraiser."
- "Sherry equipped me with the tools to organize my work plan, set clear goals, and build confidence as a leader."

Your investment is $950 + HST. The course is delivered in group coaching sessions twice a month for six months, starting September 2024.
There is a private group space for discussion, conversation and knowledge transfer between the sessions.
Invoices can be made out to your organization, or to you personally. Some participants will choose to pay this out of their own pockets as an investment towards their own careers.
There are five key learning modules:
- Communication: Your words are your truth and your strength.
- Networking: Connect your way to your next donation, or your next promotion.
- Negotiation: Owning your value, influencing others through conversation
- Solution Strategies: Identifying the problem, so that you can find the path forward... every time!
- Resilience: More than a buzzword. Living where you are and building your tools so you can thrive long term.
