Periods of intense workloads, uncertainty and workplace conflict can all collide into a culture of low performance and low morale. As individuals, if these periods become extended for too long, one may experience emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion. This is burnout.

In our 2-hour session, we will explore the components and symptoms of burnout, then strategize how to overcome prolonged stress and burnout and find a path back to productivity and balance. Our objectives will be:

• Identify the impact of extended work stress and burnout
• Explore healthy and unhealthy ways to regulate the emotional impact
• Strategize to overcome the impact of burnout through everyday self-care, new work habits and more

Participants should come with a notebook, journal, or other writing tool to capture personal reflections and actions. This is to be a reflective, interactive session, where they will be creating action plans to take back to work and life!

Proactively lead your organization through uncertain times with financial and risk management

tools. Join us and Helen Dow on Thursday, October 2, as we discuss identifying your organization’s risks and evaluating their financial

impacts.

We will discuss modeling these risks with scenario-based budgeting, cash flow

forecasting, along with measuring financial resiliency and general best practices to stay in a

position of strength.

The environment for nonprofit fundraising is constantly evolving, shaped by political, economic and societal shifts. Nonprofits have navigated uncertainty before and are resilient when they adapt strategically.

Join Wendy McGrady, The Curtis Group Executive VP and COO, for an insightful discussion on the latest fundraising trends and what we are seeing in the field. Our analysis will be informed by newly released data from The Giving Institute, The Generosity Commission, and the Giving USA Foundation, among other findings. We will draw lessons from past challenges and provide practical strategies nonprofits can implement today, including:

• Assessing risk and vulnerabilities
• Diversifying revenue streams to build resilience
• Strengthening relationships to foster donor trust and long-term commitment
• Engaging board members before there is a crisis

Whether you are facing financial uncertainty or simply want to future-proof your fundraising strategy, this webinar will equip you with the insights and tools you need to sustain your organization.

Strategic Planning in Action is a hands-on workshop designed to help nonprofit leaders understand and apply the fundamentals of strategic planning.

In just two hours, you'll gain practical tools and insights to help your organization move forward with greater clarity and alignment. We'll begin by outlining the core components of an effective strategic plan, then devote most of our time to walking through how to lead the planning process internally, step by step, including how to put the plan into action once it's adopted. We'll also touch briefly on how to prepare for working with a consultant, if you choose.

Whether you're aiming to lead your own strategic planning process or become a more informed partner in a consultant-led effort, this session will leave you better equipped to achieve meaningful, mission-driven progress.

When you're wearing multiple hats, having your own virtual assistant by way of Al isn't just a nicety – it's a must have in today's nonprofit workplace.

We've asked The Hodges Partnership to give us some use cases and specific prompts that will help nonprofit professionals offload tasks – from admin and planning to drafting and editing.

Join us on August 21st and come ready to learn more about how you can engage with large-language model Al tools and how you can set guardrails and boundaries in your processes to ensure the spirit of your organization's brand is kept alive through it all.
