The 4Es of inclusive leadership: A practical model for building trust, culture, and resilience
Dionn Schaffner, Chief Diversity Officer & SVP Social Impact
Kimberly O’Donnell, Chief Fundraising Officer & VP, Coaching
In a rapidly changing nonprofit landscape, leading with intention is not optional. It is essential. In this interactive session, Bonterra’s Kimberly O’Donnell and Dionn Schaffner introduce the 4Es of inclusive leadership: Educate, Empathize, Engage, and Expect. This practical framework is rooted in authenticity and emotional intelligence. You will explore how inclusive practices can deepen team trust, reduce turnover, and drive donor connection. Learn how to motivate through clarity and care, embed learning into daily work and activate staff engagement in ways that respect boundaries and amplify impact. We will also dive into how leaders can manage up, down, and across teams with transparency and purpose, and how to translate values into board-level accountability and fundraising outcomes. You will leave with real-world tools and stories to build a culture of curiosity, trust and resilience, no matter your organization’s size or stage.
