Description

  Key Takeaways:Struggling is not sustainable. Our need to be in struggle causes burnout, turnover, mission creep and a ton of other issues. Essentially, the name “nonprofit” is hurting the industry. Being defined by a negative hurts us. We feel a huge responsibility to those people we serve and we tend to sacrifice ourselves because of that. We’ve been taught that if something is worthwhile, it must be hard. This belief that we have to look for the tough road, thinking it will give our lives meaning. If we believe in struggle, we create the struggle to justify the belief. We think we must sacrifice ourselves in order to help others and that we are dependent to our donors.  “The scarcity myth… is wrong… I can’t tell you that you can be anything that you want while limiting my self. It’s misalignment and it doesn’t work. There’s enough for everyone.” - Maryanne Dersch Be more confident, credible & convincing to your board & supporters without feeling rejected, ineffective, or pushy.Learn to manage your mindset, lead yourself and others more effectively and have the meaningful conversations that drive your most important work. Get your free starter kit today at  www.theinfluentialnonprofit.com
