When people’s needs are met, whole systems function better. This idea may in part be what brought you to nonprofit work. You see needs that – if well enough addressed – would solve a lot of problems. It’s true for the causes and communities you serve, and it’s true within your organization as well.

But it may feel impossible to balance your needs with the needs of your colleagues, organization, and mission. And given the strain of an uncertain economic and political environment, plus the rise of workers pushing back on Burnout Culture – the pressure is on to figure this out.

Boundary setting is a foundational skill set for any leader who aims to cultivate ways to work that respect the humans doing the work, while enhancing – and not sacrificing – your ability to move your mission.

Key Learning Objectives:

- Shift your mindset from guilty to purposeful, so you can set boundaries with greater clarity and effectiveness
- Better understand your needs in relation to your purpose and values, and how to take control of meeting your needs
- Explore challenges to boundary setting that are personal, as well as embedded in the nonprofit sector
