Change These Habits and Change the World
Development professionals are caring people who work very hard to find resources that will create benefits for others. We often neglect similar investments in our own emotional, mental, and physical well-being. The very nature and culture of nonprofit work presents challenges to dealing with stress and achieving ongoing professional fulfillment. As we approach the middle of summer, now is a great time to turn our attention to ways we can restore our own energy levels, go about our work with greater confidence, and find lasting professional satisfaction as we work to do good in the world. Tommy will share six habits that have the power to change you from the inside out and make you more effective as a professional fundraiser. He will also draw on the wisdom of the group to share methods that we have found effective in reducing stress, managing up, increasing our professional fulfillment, and improving our results on the job.
