You love your nonprofit work and want to succeed in it, but sometimes, something feels off. You may notice it in yourself or others: disengagement, lack of energy, a subtle shift from passion to pressured. Nonprofit spaces bring unique emotional and neurological challenges. Whether you’re a leader, coordinator, volunteer, or just mission-driven, this session is about how to:

• Recognize what some call “burnout” in yourself and others
• Make small but powerful adjustments to avoid it before it takes you (or your team) out
• Not just survive, but excel in your work with more clarity, energy, and longevity

Jeff will be the morning keynote speaker for Power Tools for Nonprofits in November… but this interactive session is your chance to dive deeper, sooner.
