Are you tired? It's been a long road since March 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic changed our lives. As nonprofit leaders, we give a lot of ourselves to our community and to our work. Sometimes, this giving can burn us out. There’s a new way to understand when and why we burn out and lose capacity. We will be engaging with the most important behaviors of resilient givers — those who can serve others beautifully through time.
