Paul Ferrara has recently been a professor at the Master in Fund Raising , gave a lesson, they say not only the numbers (the votes that each student makes at the end of the class teacher and we need to improve from year to year teaching) but also comments on his blog has hit the target.

As I also wrote (you can read it here or below) on the activity of a trainer from which even I draw a lot of reflections, thoughts, ideas and energy to improve not only the training itself, but also how to do fundraising.

Do not just want to say training "to speak to an audience", but also listen to this audience, hear their stories, their experiences in fundraising.
Happy reading!

A few days ago talking with Valerio Melandri was confident that the activities of the trainer is for me a constant source of stimulation and interest.
The preparation of each new lesson is in itself life-giving. And 'the opportunity to put some order in the drawers of the mind, take up the suggestions as well as you have presented wandering in the world of non-profit organization, communication and marketing, put them in relation to each other, ponder in the light Data of "market", verify them based on their experience, their mistakes and their successes as well as the study and give form to this form of storytelling, keeping in mind what for me is the goal of every Educational activities: open your mind to new questions, new ideas but also a new way to organize their knowledge, as well as new "knowledge" and "know how".
But there is one aspect that I would describe the formation and mysterious to me is the real reason of passion for education. That experience is always unique and always arrichente arising from the report. A later report in which I, as a trainer and as a person, come to my knowledge, the preparatory work done to the mountain and my willingness to meet and listen. But also the context in which enters the class. The framework in which it was inserted. The quality of the work of the training school, tutors, trainers who have preceded me, by the administrative staff. And it enters, so imponderable element is crucial, but the class itself.
When this relationship works like a snap to make the trainer becomes a prize to me, not a new job. And there are moments, like the last lesson of the Master in Fundraising Online Fundraising of Forlì on where, I assure you, the experience is truly rewarding.
I want to dedicate this post just to those who gave me this experience, my heartfelt thanks to the guys behind the organization of the Master in Fundraising and the Fundraising Online Course, Adele, Claire, Simon and Francis, Valerio Melandri, who this team has made, and especially in Alexandria, CLEAR, MANUELA, SIMONA, ALESSANDRA, SARA ELIZABETH, Paul, Elizabeth, Carmen, Julia, FRANCIS, MARK, RICHARD, MAXIMILIAN, MONICA, MONICA, giulia, Paul, Paul, Laura, Patrick, and ANGIE DANIEL, the fantastic class that has worked and has also agreed to play with me ... and I hope to enter early in the Lost fan club (and we have understood ).
