In addition to running her boutique consulting firm, Valerie M.

Her book, Nonprofit Hero, contains stories, tools, and exercises not included in trainings. Readers will learn how to: Honor their fears. Surprisingly, these contain their personal prescription for success. Channel their passion by tapping the energy of why they want what they want. Discover their asking personality, including how they should and shouldn’t ask. Get started with tips on thirty simple things to do right now for free to help raise money. Follow five easy steps, starting with thanking, not asking, and with givers, not prospects. Cast themselves as stars, finding the step they’ll most enjoy and at which they’ll excel. Attract support by listening, understanding motivations, and helping fulfill donors’ desires. Elevate their speech so that they can make their case sincerely and with compelling confidence.

This book also helps readers form an in-depth description of their asking personality. It illustrates how they can best thank, steward, research, cultivate, and ask; which of the five steps they favor; how to address their fears; play to their strengths; overcome their weaknesses; and how to get what they need to excel. There are 16 different and distinct profiles, one suited to each reader.\nFinally, this book includes a toolkit of practical samples and templates, such as sample giving dos and don’ts, asking scripts, and fundraising plans.

In Times Like These

This is a fascinating story of efforts by successive governments to gaelicise Irish education. To enable teachers to become proficient at Irish the preparatory system was established in 1926. It consisted of seven residential colleges providing second-level education for student teachers; each a `mini' Gaeltacht with all activities conducted through Irish. Entry was gained through a highly competitive examination which favoured Gaeltacht students. Throughout its 35-year existence the system was strongly opposed by the INTO and by the Department of Finance. These are some of the absorbing aspects of the story; others include the sudden closure of Colaiste Chaoimhin in 1939; and the role of notable figures of the period such as Archbishop McQuaid, Bishop Browne of Galway; de Valera, Ernest Blythe, Richard Mulcahy, Sean MacEntee and Thomas Derrig. The story of Colaiste Moibhi, the Protestant college, and its contribution to the survival of the religious minority, is included.
