Keynote Speaker

 Inspired and Inspiring: Discovering How to Tap into Your Strengths

As a Donor Relations Professional, you enter the field passionate about making a difference in the world. Inspired by the missions of the organizations you serve and inspiring others to engage philanthropically, your positive impact upon the lives of others is phenomenal. Yet, in this post-COVID reality, the struggle is real—doing more with less, toxic work environments, physical and mental health issues, grief, and loss. So, how do you stay “inspired and inspiring” in this increasingly challenging world we all navigate?

Drawing upon decades of experience as a clinical psychologist, educator, executive leader, and outstanding fundraiser, Dr. Catherine Koverola, our keynote speaker, will guide you through a process of self-assessment that provides powerful insights and tools to tap into your strengths like never before. You will learn that it is not about working harder and digging deeper, but rather about understanding the complexities you face and knowing how to effectively engage your unique strengths to advance your outcomes. No matter the situation, our strengths are there for us.

Dr. Catherine Koverola is a psychologist and higher education executive leader with a lifelong commitment to supporting the health, well-being, and education of others on a global scale. With more than 30 years of private practice and consultation experience and progressive leadership that includes serving as dean, provost, and university president, her expertise also includes executive coaching and leadership development; fundraising; culturally relevant program development; facilitating organizational change in support of diversity, equity, and inclusion; and successful start-up launches. Her experience encompasses life and work on three continents and embodies a well-honed intercultural wisdom within practice
