A panel of advisors discusses the issue of developing generous clients. Moderated by Generous Giving’s President, Todd Harper, the panel discusses questions such as, “How do you engage in a generosity conversation with non-believing clients?”, “How have you grown in your willingness and capability to have the generosity conversation with clients?”, and “What is the connection between having a stewardship mentality and generosity in clients?” Ron Blue opens the discussion by sharing five key areas that he believes are the foundation for radical generosity in clients. This listening guide supplements the Study Group that was presented on this topic.
