The Meaning of 'No'
One of the most difficult words to hear is "no." It cuts to the core of our being. It is immediately personal. It often feels bad.
When I was younger, the word "no" caused me a great deal of anxiety. Whenever it came my way it brought with it a deep sense of failure and inadequacy. "No" meant I was a loser.

If you’re hanging with Richard it won’t be long before you’ll be laughing.
He always finds something funny in everything.

Richard believes that successful major-gift fundraising is not fundamentally about securing revenue for good causes. Instead it is about helping donors express who they are through their giving. The Connections blog will provide practical information on how to do this successfully. Richard has more than 30 years of nonprofit leadership and fundraising experience, and is founding partner of the Veritus Group.
