What surprised us most was not what happened during the presentation.

It was what happened after.

Weeks after Contact East, the conversations are still going.

Nonprofit leaders continue to reach out with questions about fundraising strategy, board engagement, donor relationships, and how to better define the path forward for their organizations.

That is often where the real work begins.

Not with a slide deck.
Not with a keynote.
But with a conversation that challenges assumptions and uncovers new possibilities.

When Lieff joined Stacey at Contact East, the goal was not to provide all the answers. It was to help organizations ask better questions.

And judging by the conversations that followed, those questions are still creating momentum.

What fundraising question is your organization wrestling with right now?

Leading with conviction — a night to remember in Calgary.

Proud to share that our President & CEO, Guy Mallabone, took the stage at Conviction: Leading When It Actually Matters on May 28th alongside some of Calgary's most accomplished leaders.

Guy joined a powerful lineup of CEOs for an exclusive evening of authentic, unfiltered leadership conversation — covering decision-making frameworks, navigating uncertainty, and the real moments that define careers.

At Global Philanthropic Canada, conviction isn't just a theme — it's how we show up every day for the non-profits and charities we serve. Proud of Guy for representing that spirit on this stage. 💙

What does it actually look like to lead when everything is on the line?

Last Wednesday, we had the privilege of joining Calgary's top CEOs at Conviction: Leading When It Actually Matters — an evening that was anything but theory.

Global Philanthropic Canada President & CEO Guy Mallabone was among the distinguished voices sharing real stories of high-stakes leadership — the kind that shapes companies, careers, and communities.

From decision-making under extreme pressure to leading teams through volatility, the room at Scotiabank's 17th floor was filled with hard-won conviction.

"This is not theory. This is how decisions get made when everything is on the line."

Thank you to our fellow speakers, the incredible host Quan Ly, and the sponsors — Bloom Benefits, Clean Club Calgary, and CERCO — for making this evening possible.

Leadership conversations are evolving.

More leaders and organizations are beginning to recognize that sustainable leadership is not built on authority alone — but also on relationships, accountability, humility, and long-term responsibility.

Inspired by teachings shared at the Nation2Nation Women’s Gathering, this infographic captures key insights from Judy Assman-Neiser’s latest ShredBrain article exploring matriarchal leadership and Indigenous perspectives on leadership, community, and collective well-being.

The article challenges conventional leadership norms and invites an important reflection:

What if the most enduring leaders are those who lead with intention, listen deeply, and prioritize impact beyond themselves?

What does a peanut butter & jam sandwich have to do with fundraising? More than you think.

Recently, the dynamic duo of Deborah Barton and Jason Muscant from Global Philanthropic had the pleasure of leading an interactive workshop with the team at Hutton House focused on messaging, elevator pitches, and communicating impact clearly.

Our icebreaker? A deceptively simple exercise: instruct the consultant how to make a PB&J sandwich.

The lesson quickly became clear: what feels obvious in our heads is not always clear in our communication. Assumptions, jargon, and skipped steps can leave audiences confused — whether you’re explaining lunch, your mission, or why someone should care.

Strong fundraising starts with strong messaging.

Whether it’s an elevator pitch, case for support, donor messaging, or a fund development plan, clarity matters. If people can’t quickly understand who you are, why your work matters, and how they can help, connection gets lost.

Have you ever tried telling someone how to make a PB&J sandwich? You might be surprised what it teaches about communication.

Looking to strengthen your organization’s fundraising messaging, case for support, or fund development strategy? Deborah & Jason would love to help. They are a phone call away!
