Happy Birthday Alice Ferris! An Excursion to Tavern on the Green in Central Park, New York. GoalBusters 2021-10-23 | Happy Birthday Alice! I gave Alice her birthday present a month early. I didn't know where I'd be on Alice Ferris' birthday. So I took advantage of an opportunity last month, and took her to lunch at the magnificently revived "Tavern on the Green" in Central Park, New York. It only reopened a few months ago. (After a long, somewhat embarrassing hiatus.) But they are back. And it is epic. We enjoyed truffle fries as we drank fine champagne, and admired the perfect French expat outside our window. I don't know if I coveted his hat, shirt, or scarf the most. The last time I ate here was the summer of 1995. And no, I did not "grow up in a barn." I grew up "barn adjacent." - @GoalBustersJim-----Jim Anderson Photography, 2021GoalBusters Consulting, LLC

Living with More Ikigai - Presented by Alice Ferris GoalBusters 2021-09-19 | We give in the charitable sector. We give our money, time, and energy, sometimes to the point of feeling absolutely spent. But if we don't take care of ourselves, how can we continue to be change-makers in the world? A Japanese concept called ikigai, or life's purpose, may hold some of the answers. In this session, we will explore how to define your life vision, assess where you are now, develop an action plan that allows you to move more toward ikigai, and prioritize yourself in your already busy life.The session will be in three parts: 1) defining ikigai, 2) defining your vision and assessing yourself now, and 3) creating a plan of action to move toward ikigai.-----Video Editing: Justin Anderson, 2020GoalBusters Consulting

Tom will also share several "easy-peasy" tests that will help driven fundraisers fail-proof their own donor communication's. Join us!About our speaker:In 2016, the New York Times called Tom Ahern "one of America’s most sought-after creators offund-raising messages." In May, 2021, UK guru, Richard Radcliffe, said: "Tom Ahern is possibly the greatest non-profit copywriter on the planet."Tom specializes in turning underperforming donor communications into major moneymakers, using the latest discoveries in psychology and neuroscience.
