How Don started as a fundraising speaker
Don got his first gig as a fundraising speaker in 1994. He was his first client. After being selected to represent Australia at the World Games in Berlin, there was only one thing standing in Don’s way. He needed to fund his trip.
A ‘Sportman’s Night’ in his country town of Tocumwal was part of Don’s fundraising strategy. He took to the stage as a nervous kid with no public speaking experience. He had no notes either, after his Dad tore up his A4 pages and urged him to speak from the heart. Turns out he was a natural.
Guests loved Don’s presentation and his easy going approach. Don blitzed his fundraising goals and, within a few hours of leaving the lectern, he was booked to speak at several local events. That was 26 years ago, and Don has been motivational speaking for fundraisers across Australia ever since.
He was pretty good then (with zero practice) and clients say he’s pretty great now.
