Webinar: $10

About this session: This is the second in a three-part series about self-care for nonprofit leaders. You are not only an organizational leader, but also the leader of staff who, like you, have been through a lot in the past several months. How can you best support staff during times of national crisis, but also during times of personal crisis while also honoring the self-care traditions of other cultures in the office? How can you develop a culture that helps employees manage mental and emotional stress before it becomes a physical problem and before it impacts your work, the work of others and the work of the organization overall? There is not a “one-size-fits-all” solution.

Who Should Participate:  All Staff

Bringing her craft as an artist into the work she offers support for growth in the areas of conflict resolution, the creative process, improved communication skills, leadership development, and diversity and inclusion initiatives.
