1-Hour Breakthrough. Call.

For when you need a quick breakthrough and you need it quickly.

You don't have time for programs or coaching - you just need an answer now. Considering how many hours, days or weeks it could take you to work it out for yourself, a quick call with me could save you a tonne of time and money.

Book an hour with me to get help with just about anything within my areas of expertise.

No refunds are offered regardless of the outcome, so please choose carefully to ensure that you get what you need from the call.

Calls are charged up-front at $275 inc GST for one hour.

Private Coaching Program.

When you have big goals, it's going to to take more than a one-off call or a group membership.

A Facebook group is fun to connect with other people like you, but it doesn't move you forward to where you want to go. And there's only so much cheerleading you can handle before you realise you're paying for platitudes.

Private coaching with me is 100% customised to your circumstances. And you get access to all the same benefits as my OnePB Circle program, along with a weekly 30-minute private accountability call, your own program, trackable goals in my exclusive coaching platform and urgent access to me once per quarter when you need it at no extra cost.

Private coaching is a 12 month commitment of $770 inc. GST per month or a discounted all-upfront payment of $8470 inc. GST for the 12 months (get one month free.)

Book your first call below. In this first call we will put together your schedule of weekly calls and start planning where you want to get to at the end of our 12 month engagement.

Private coaching is strictly limited to six individuals in 2025. A waitlist is offered once the program is full.

AI tools being used in not-for-profits

December 01, 20241 min read

AI tools are rapidly transforming the not-for-profit sector, with recent surveys showing that 69% of Australian NFPs are either using or planning to use AI tools within the next year[12]. Here are the most widely adopted AI solutions:

Communication Tools

ChatGPT and Large Language Models

Nearly one-third of Australian not-for-profits use ChatGPT, making it the most popular AI system in the sector[1]. Other major platforms include:

- Google's Gemini

- Anthropic's Claude

- Microsoft Copilot[9]

Donor Management

Dataro

This Australian-developed platform has shown remarkable success in donor targeting. Greenpeace Australia's implementation resulted in a 5x ROI and helped retain 64 supporters who were likely to lapse[2].

Administrative Solutions

Meeting Assistants

- Zoom AI Companion: Provides automated responses and meeting summaries

- Otter.ai: Offers real-time transcription and note-taking capabilities[3]

Data Analysis

Zia by Zoho

Specialises in predictive analysis and data interpretation, helping organisations make data-driven decisions[4].

Social Media Management

Hootsuite with OwlyWriter AI

Generates social media content and manages posting schedules, with its AI capabilities specifically tailored for not-for-profit communications[3].

Fundraising Tools

DonorSearch Ai

Recognised as the most advanced machine learning tool for fundraising, it helps organisations identify and segment top prospects[5].

Impact Assessment

The Institute of Community Directors Australia reports that not-for-profits are primarily using AI for:

- Data-driven decision making (21%)

- Grant application writing (20%)

- Data analysis (15%)

- Customer engagement (9%)[1]

Implementation Trends

One in four not-for-profit and charity organisations are already using AI, with two-thirds expected to adopt these technologies within the year[12]. This rapid adoption reflects the sector's recognition of AI's potential to enhance operational efficiency while managing limited resources.
