What do Plu-O clients Say?

“I’ve learned and grown so much in the seven years I’ve worked with Paul. He’s helped me become a stronger leader, a more confident fundraiser, and someone who effectively advocates for my professional growth. Through every challenge and opportunity, Paul has been a steady source of guidance, encouragement, and perspective..”

Lauren Rosenberg, Vice President, Philanthropy, Cradles to Crayons

“I have worked as a fundraiser at impactful organizations, and I know my work has added value. But I really struggled to determine what personal strengths or specific strategies had contributed to my success. I wanted to continue to grow as a manager, gift officer, and leader, but without a strong sense of self, I felt stuck.

Paul helped me ask and answer thoughtful questions: What key lessons have I learned across a decade of fundraising? What do I enjoy most about development? What do I bring to my daily practice that makes me unique? As a result, I was able to articulate what I wanted next in my career, and to pursue those goals with confidence. I grew because I finally understood where I was rooted.”

Ashley Sinnott, Senior Director of Development, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, Northwestern University

“Paul’s coaching practice has allowed me to identify and articulate my strengths, craft a powerful vision for reaching my next career goal, and advocate for recognition and growth in a large alumni relations and development organization.  Paul’s generous yet direct, deft, and lucid approach has provided me with a toolkit tailored to my professional needs. Every session has brought a win at my workplace and helped me voice my worth as a valuable colleague, contributor, and leader. I am grateful to Paul for his decades of success in fundraising and management, which he brings to every single session.”

Yasmin Omer, Assistant Vice President of Complex, Legacy, and Principal Gifts
