Getting to the Yes: A Board Member’s Guide to Philanthropic Leadership — Companion Workbook

Because reading the book is the beginning. Doing the work is where everything changes.

Board members who read Getting to the Yes: A Board Member’s Guide to Philanthropic Leadershipcome away with a new understanding of their role, their influence, and their potential. This companion workbook is where that understanding becomes leadership.

Designed to be used alongside the book, chapter by chapter, the workbook takes every major concept from fiduciary steward to mission ambassador, from fear to confidence, from oversight to ownership, and puts it into practice through honest reflection, structured exercises, and personal commitments grounded in your real organization and your real role.

This is not a workbook you complete once and file away. It is a working document. A mirror. A map. The kind of resource you return to before board meetings, during retreats, and in the quiet moments when you are asking yourself whether your service is making the difference you hoped it would.

What is inside:

Ten chapters of complementary content, exercises, and team discussions covering the full arc of philanthropic board leadership — from diagnosing your organization’s culture of philanthropy to mastering the 60-second mission story, from understanding the donor journey to resetting your partnership with fundraising staff, from the five leadership shifts to building community trust, all the way through your personal Legacy Leadership Plan.

Each chapter closes with a commitment field and an accountability prompt, because the leaders who make the greatest difference are not the ones who learn the most. They are the ones who act on what they know.

This workbook is for you if:

You want to contribute more and are not sure exactly how. You have read the book and are ready to go deeper. You lead a board and want to use a structured tool for development and accountability. You are a development professional who wants to equip your board in a way that sticks.

Description

Getting to the Yes: A Board Member’s Guide to Philanthropic Leadership — Companion Workbook

Most board members want to contribute more to their organization’s mission. They were never taught how.

This companion workbook to Getting to the Yes: A Board Member’s Guide to Philanthropic Leadership transforms insight into action. Designed for individual reflection, board retreat use, and team development, it guides board members through every chapter of the book with structured exercises, honest self-assessments, and concrete commitments that build the habits of high-performing philanthropic leadership.

Inside each chapter, you will find:

  • The Core Idea — a grounding summary before you move into exercises
  • Reflection Questions — thoughtful prompts designed to surface what is actually true, not what sounds impressive
  • The Exercise — practical, structured activities that produce something tangible: a plan, an audit, a commitment, or a conversation
  • For Teams — facilitated discussion questions designed for full board use
  • Your Commitment — a specific, time-bound action to take before the next chapter

Whether you are new to board service or a seasoned leader ready to lead differently, this workbook provides the framework, language, and accountability structure to become the kind of board member your mission needs.

From diagnosing your organization’s culture of philanthropy to building your 60-second mission story, from understanding what donors really want to strengthening your partnership with fundraising staff, every chapter closes the gap between knowing and doing.

This is not a fundraising workbook. It is a leadership workbook, and the difference is everything.
