Molly's goal is afforability for small non-profits?

Non-profits that are struggling are usually told: You Need to Raise More Money. This feels impossible to an already challenged and exhausted staff, and sets up the non-profit for struggle.  Covering the cost of a consultant can eat into the funds that a  non-profit needs to do the important community work they are designed for. But, you do need help, so lets work out a solution together that has the best impact for your situation.

Yes! These topics were the cornerstone of Molly's early consulting and training years, and a topic she greatly loves. She developed her own Civility Training module - designed out of the NEED she saw in the organizations she worked with for customer service - and created this to go hand-in-hand with the customer service training. Staff enjoy this training and leave feeling supported, heard, and rejuvenated. Remember - customer service burnout IS REAL, and the proper tools can help get your team back on track.
