The Bottom Line of Burnout – This Week

2020-12-01T18:01:51-05:00December 1st, 2020|Uncategorized|

Hosted by: Nonprofit Montgomery, EveryMind, and 20 Degrees

Did you miss last month’s session on burnout? Not to worry, we brought it back for December. This session got rave reviews when we offered it in October. The holidays are a difficult time for many in a “normal” year and this year is anything but normal.

Join us for a practical, honest conversation about the bottom line cost of burnout, along with the insights on how to actually integrate best practices in your organization in a way that is affordable and possible.

The goals of the session:

  • Make a financial case based on your budget to justify prioritizing mental health of yourself and your team that can be shared internally or with select funders
  • Highlight best practices for responding to burnout
  • Discuss the warning signs of burnout
  • Create a safe, community conversation for Executive Directors/CEOs
  • Highlight additional wellness resources for leaders

When: December 2, 9:30-11:00am
