"I’ve had the occasion to work with Jo Chapman for the past seven years in multiple channels of broadcast and major donor fundraising.
Jo’s professionalism is the first thing that stands out: she consistently delivered results by building authentic relationships with passionate and generous listeners and partners in broadcast ministry. When she moved into an on-air role with daily consistency, I worked closely with Jo and her co-host to develop a daily strategy to achieve organisational targets – targets that she met or exceeded far more often than falling short.
She’s an excellent public speaker, but also does well one-on-one, and has extensive behind-the-microphone and in-front-of-the-camera experience. I’d credit Jo’s faith and dedication to sharing her life through relatable storytelling with her listeners, and connecting major donors with their God-given purpose through multiple different broadcast and partner fundraising efforts, as her true, greatest attribute. Any client would benefit tremendously from Jo Chapman’s consultation."
"Jo has an amazing heart and passion to share God's word throughout the Christian media sector. Her decades of commitment, people engagement and perseverance is all done with a Christ centred focus. It is people like Jo who we at 96three value. Jo has become an integral part of the wider resources team we so dearly treasure here at 96three.
For Regional Community Media stations, Jo is a valuable consultant with an affordable model to see key partnerships and major donor fundraising truly grow in a very strategic way, yet with warmth and compelling authenticity through a key relationship model. Jo is the x-factor addiction to the mission that brings the financial results and retention goals we all seek. Her ability to connect with listeners and donors is completely unique!"

She prioritizes clear and compelling communication, ensuring messaging resonates without turning people off or overwhelming them.
