When we are free of stress we are effective, clear-sighted and inspired to work for the communities we serve. Yet, most of us from time to time feel burned-out, exhausted, and frustrated. How can best practices for self-care help reconnect and enliven us? What professional development opportunities are there for emerging NPO CEO’s? Join your fellow NPO Leaders learn tools for taking the time for self-care. During the session, we will discuss strategies and concrete steps we can take to incorporate these tools into our daily routines.
During the second half of the roundtable members will participate in small group candid and provocative conversations with noncompetitive organizations to address real time challenges and frustrations that you can’t share with anyone else.
We look forward to you joining us!
