When You're Wearing All The Nonprofit Hats Already in the first quarter of 2022 I’ve had the privilege of attending several conferences and workshops, both in-person and virtual. I’ve met some incredible people who are working hard on the front lines to carry out their missions.    Because of that, I’ve been able to keep an ear to the ground about what’s going on in the space. People are so passionate about their mission and you can tell they care deeply about the cause they’re working for. It’s inspiring hanging around these types of leaders.   However, there’s also a clear, common theme among these executive directors and other leaders: they’re overwhelmed and worn out. They feel like they’re wearing all the hats. I don’t say that to be discouraging, but to let you know that you are not alone!   Yet the mission is so important and the work has to get done. They keep going back day after day because these are caring, compassionate people. What’s an overwhelmed nonprofit leader to do? We’re caring by nature, but running around trying to wear all the hats can wear us out if we’re not careful.   9 Ways Overwhelmed Nonprofit Leaders Can Recharge: Take care of you. Recognize what things YOU need to recharge. Minimize distractions. Measure backwards. Aim forward. Step away for creative think time. Reach out for support.
