Nonprofit Day 2017 - Keynote
This document discusses strategies for preventing burnout in the nonprofit sector. It begins by explaining that burnout is common due to high demands, few resources, and lack of recovery time. The speaker then outlines the symptoms and stages of burnout. The rest of the document focuses on the importance of self-care and creating a culture of well-being in nonprofit organizations. It emphasizes that self-care requires intentional habit change, not just quick fixes. Nonprofits should focus on culture change through leadership, employee engagement, and programs that support staff well-being. Small, sustainable changes can make a difference in preventing burnout without large expenses.
