Instructor: Sunni Smith Course Description
Two recent studies, by Meyer and CompassPoint illustrated the growing trends among nonprofit executive directors. Of the 1,932 respondents from eight cities including, Los Angeles, 75% indicated that they planned to leave their jobs within the next five years, 9% were already in the process of leaving; and less than 30% had a succession plan. The study concluded that “It is important for CEOs to take personal responsibility for their personal health and attitude. This not only will help avoid burnout, but also help us to be better managers for [their] employees.”
If any of this resonates with you, the following three-part, interactive, workshop for nonprofit executives may interest you. Managing Time, Reducing Stress & Finding Balance will offer:
1. tools for effective time management;
2. strategies for reducing work-related stress and;
3. methods for achieving a meaningful balance between professional and personal commitments.
The workshop will offer concrete resources to support the framework for assessing, managing and impacting on the level of productivity in your daily, work life. Registrants will be asked to complete a brief (2-3 minute) pre-workshop survey in order to tailor the workshop content to meet the highest needs and interests of attendees. Instructor's Bio
