  • Episode 121: Building a proper LinkedIn network with Michelle Benson
    Nov 5 2024
    I'm not chasing, I'm going to be found¨

    As a confirmed Big Deal on Linked In, Michelle Benson joins us to talk us through the site's shift from job site to relationship building forum. We get into the opportunity to bypass the Comms Team, how everyone is a lurker and the sad death of the giant cheque. Michelle goes back to her humble first gig - working on a disruptive Nike campaign in Manhattan - and subsequent career built upon doing things differently. We pick up a shopping trolley, adapt to our environment and pick up some tips on breaking out of the echo chamber. Pour yourself a bubble bath, turn off your air con and build a proper network.

  • Episode 119: The art of communication with Ishbel Smith
    Oct 11 2024
    "Stories are a blend of information and emotion"

    It's breakfast on day two at the Scottish Fundraising Conference and we're joined by Ishbel Smith to talk through the power and importance of storytelling in everything we do.

    Thanks to her experience as a commercial litigator turned third-sector consultant, we've got competitive debating on the world stage, distilling our connection to a cause, immersing yourself in knowledge and forest-eating rabbits. We talk about being curious, how to persuade, listening effectively and the three reasons we tell stories. There's just enough time to squeeze in the stories we tell ourselves, the comedians we are officially funnier than and (if you've got this far) our shortening attention spans. All delivered laden with Ishbel's passion shining through - impressive for such an early start.

    This is part two of a three part series from the Scottish Fundraising Conference.
