Are you tired of never having enough money, staff, board members, power, or influence to achieve your mission? Do you struggle to stay motivated and passionate about work that just seems SO HARD? Do you wake up in the middle of the night terrified about how you are going to make all the pieces fit? Do you sometimes fantasize about just giving up on your dream to make the world a better place?
If I just described you, you are likely suffering from the Scarcity Mindset. The belief that there simply will never be enough money, people, power or influence to achieve your vision of a better world. Whether you are trying to feed the hungry, make education and opportunity more accessible to everyone, allow art and artists to flourish, create a level playing field for those left behind, or otherwise make the world a bit better, you have probably hit several roadblocks along the way. Sometimes those roadblocks become so high or so numerous that you struggle to keep going.
But there is a better way. You have, inside of you, the key to make the work easier, more joyful, more abundant.
What if instead of being exhausted, worn out, disillusioned and depressed, you were energized and inspired by your important work as a social change leader?
What if you were surrounded by endless supporters helping to move your work forward?
What if money flowed easily and endlessly to you and your organization?
What if the social change you envision happened easily and joyfully?
It can! Your work can be Abundant!
The Embracing Abundant Social Change Series will guide you step-by-step away from the exhausting hampster wheel of never having enough, to the effortless abundance of all of the money, people, power, and influence you need to achieve your mission.
Over the course of four, 90-minute training and coaching sessions during April – June, you will learn how to reclaim your power, kiss scarcity goodbye, attract all the money you need, and mobilize your network. All so that your work to create a better world becomes easier and more joyful.
Each module will be live, so you can ask questions and discuss your unique challenges with Nell and the rest of the group. But all sessions will also be recorded, so don’t worry if you can’t make it to the live events. Through the series, you’ll receive a combination of frameworks, guidance, and a whole lot of inspiration to set you on the path to abundance.

Abundance is out there for you.
You simply need to take the first step. This series will show you how
Here’s how the Embrace Abundant Social Change Series will work:
You Are Powerful Beyond Measure

Kiss Scarcity Goodbye
Once you’ve reclaimed your own power, you can then rise from the omnipresent scarcity view and embrace the abundance that is trying to reach you and your social change vision. Believe me, money, supporters, resources — everything you need to achieve your mission — want to reach you. But you first must learn to kiss scarcity goodbye and believe that abundance is out there for you, and you deserve it. You will learn how to:

This session will show you how to mobilize this amazing team for good.

FAQs
Great question! I know how limited your resources as a social change leader are, so this series is only right for you if you are ready to make some serious changes to how you’ve operated in the past. If you are tired of never having enough, being burned out and are ready to try something completely new, then this series is right for you.
If you work to make the world a better place — whether at a nonprofit, a foundation, a corporation, or in government — and you are feeling stuck, worn out, burned out, or ready for a new path, this series is for you. All I ask is that you show up with an open mind and a willingness to try something new.
There are 4 Modules but the entire series will run for 6 weeks, April 28th – June 2nd. We’ll have a “rest”’ week in the middle where you can get caught up on the content, integrate what you’ve learned, and give yourself some space. And the series includes a bonus group coaching session at the end of the 4 Modules to dig into specific challenges you’ve encountered along the way.
Don’t worry! We record all of the modules and coaching calls. And all of the recordings and materials will be emailed to you.
When you register for the Embrace Abundant Social Change Series, you’ll have unlimited access to all of the modules and coaching calls and the worksheets and frameworks. There is no “falling behind” in this program. It’s structured to help you navigate what’s going on for you, so you can go at whatever pace works for you. You will also have unlimited email access to Nell over the course of the series, so you can ask her about any unique challenges you encounter along the way.
The four trainings and the bonus coaching call will last 90 minutes each. You can join those live or watch the recordings at your leisure.
Yes! In fact, it’s more fun for me if you do! So ask any and all questions you have. And we’ll have a bonus 90-minute coaching session at the end of the four modules where you can bring any challenges you’ve faced in moving toward abundance, and we’ll strategize how to move beyond them. Finally, you’ll have unlimited email access to Nell during the 6 weeks of the series, so you can ask her any specific questions you have away from the rest of the group if that’s more comfortable for you.
The price for the Embracing Abundant Social Change Series is $999.
Did you do a double-take on the price? I know social change leaders, you are a penny-pinching bunch. And I get it. You’ve been taught for so long that there just isn’t enough money. So you are very careful with every last dime you get. But if you want to move beyond that broken, scarcity-based system, you have to take a leap of faith toward abundance. I could offer this series for less, or I could even offer it for free, and I’d be willing to do that because I so strongly believe in the opportunity abundance holds for moving your work forward and for ultimately creating a better world. However, I have found, from my own personal experience with moving from scarcity to abundance, that you cannot fully embrace this path unless you are willing to go beyond what you would normally do. I whole-heartedly believe that the financial investment you make in this series will pay off for you many, many, many times over because I have seen it happen with my other clients. They have grown their revenue by hundreds of thousands of dollars (sometimes millions), increased the number and calibre of their board members, grown their supporters, funders and advocates and so much more. But to get there, they had to take a leap of faith and make an investment in a new, better way. So, you won’t get to abundance unless you take a similar leap of faith.
