Join us on The People of Impact Podcast for our latest episode, Why Leadership Development Doesn’t Stop at the Top.
We are delighted to welcome Gavin Coopey, Co Founder and Insights Director at More Strategic, and one of the sector’s most considered voices on strategy and sustainable fundraising leadership.
In this conversation, we explore a topic that is often overlooked across the sector: why senior fundraising leaders need ongoing coaching, challenge and professional development just as much as emerging fundraisers.
Gavin shares the thinking behind the new Peer Leadership Labs, developed in partnership with Fundraising Institute Australia, and explains why a peer-based model is proving to be a powerful shift for experienced leaders navigating complex fundraising environments.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The leadership development gap at senior levels
- Why strong fundraising outcomes are built on well supported leaders
- What makes fundraising leadership uniquely complex
- How peer driven learning sharpens judgement and decision making
- Why investing in leadership capability is a strategic imperative, not an optional extra
This is a valuable conversation not only for fundraising leaders, but also for CEOs and executives who determine where investment is directed and who are committed to strengthening culture, performance and long term impact.
If we want more sustainable fundraising outcomes, we must invest in the people leading the work.
