Don’t Make Assumptions

July 14, 2020News, VideosBy Steve Jankiewicz

Thank you very much for the book. Read it cover to cover and loved it. You’ve been a tremendous mentor. As I think about the best coaches I’ve ever had, you’re right in there as you all share the common threads of being great communicators who excellently stress the basics, the fundamentals for success.

Best,

Read it cover to cover and loved it.
I wanted to thank you for sending me a copy of “Think Up”. I read it immediately and had several takeaways that will no doubt be helpful in my fundraising efforts.
Best wishes and Merry Christmas!
