About this event
Come learn science-based insights, collaborate with other nonprofit leaders, and gain actionable take-aways. The facilitators integrate their expertise in organizational science, corporate finance, and functional medicine with their backgrounds in sports as former college athletes. They use a systems-based approach to wellbeing as a business leadership strategy and seek to develop "executive athletes™ " -- nonprofit business professionals who are resilient & have sustainable high performance without burnout.
Via an interactive session, participants will:
- Gain an understanding of multidimensional wellbeing and how it can be strategically leveraged for performance in the nonprofit workplace
- Learn the ins and outs of recovery (i.e., not working outside of work hours) and why nonprofit workers are especially susceptible to the recovery paradox (i.e., those who need recovery the most, do it the least)
- Discover science-based metrics to measure burnout type and create clinically effective solutions (for you or others) to combat and prevent burnout
Organizational teams are encouraged to participate.
