Burnout… lower wages… COVID fatigue… high demand for your services… have left a traditionally underpaid and overworked nonprofit staff with few reserves and little left to give back. How do we support those we are called to serve when our cup (or those of our team) is empty?

Learn from nonprofit leaders who have engaged in transformational relationships. In this session, we will share how to build staff capacity by embracing open & engaged relationships, open presence, and open communication.

What kind of environment are you creating for your staff to be whole beings? This session will discuss lessons learned from conversations with over 25 nonprofit leaders and foundation staff on how to build capacity.

Takeaways

When our session is finished, participants will have a series of practical tools and resources in which to be better equipped personally and to bring to their team to build their team’s capacity during these trying times. These include, but are not limited to:

• Practical examples of how to create a staff culture that engages open relationships, open presence, and open communication.
• Participants will be encouraged to name one or two next steps in a small group before they leave the session.
• Will be given a List of Additional Resources (books, blogs, and podcasts) to continue to explore the topic”
