Meet LuAnn Daniel

What if the only thing standing between you and the funding you need is the fear of asking? This week, we talk with LuAnn Daniel, founder of Women Rock, Inc., who turned a local fundraiser in her friend’s honor and a pull to “do something” into a nonprofit dedicated to providing financial assistance, education, and support for thousands of women navigating breast cancer. Despite a real discomfort of asking, LuAnn realized that making bold requests was essential to sustaining her vision. Over the years, she has come to learn that persistence and a clear mission make all the difference. In this edition we explore the power of asking without hesitation and breaking through the discomfort that can hold women back. Whether you’re seeking funding, pitching or reaching out for strategic partnerships, LuAnn’s story is a powerful reminder that the right people will say yes when they see the purpose behind the ask.
