F2F Talks with Jules D'Oca

I failed my first fundraising evaluation.
But I stuck with it, learned from the best, and eventually went on to train thousands—leading teams across the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Europe.

I’m Jules D’Oca. Face-to-face fundraising has been my craft for 15+ years, from rookie street shifts to becoming a national director. Along the way, I’ve seen it all—the burnout, the breakthroughs, and the impact a single conversation can make.

For more than 18 years I’ve also been a certified adult trainer. Training and people development isn’t just part of my work, it’s my true passion. I love unlocking potential, helping fundraisers grow, and watching leaders step into their strength.

I built F2F Talks to share the tools, mindset, and honest support I wish I had when I was fundraising full-time. Whether you’re new, leading teams, or coaching in the field, you’ll find practical insights to help you grow and stay inspired.
