When you are nearing the last days of your life, do you want to look back and see a career, or do you want to see a life? Why is it that you can schedule time for work meetings, but it is so difficult for you to schedule time for the people who really matter to you in your life? CSL will examine the most common causes of burn-out among nonprofit executives and then share its time-tested strategies for how you can sustain your passion and motivation in your work while also developing healthy, meaningful relationships with your family, friends, partner and self. You will learn how to reduce the stress and pressure in your life and, ultimately, how to balance your quest for both success and happiness. This workshop will blend psychology, philosophy, spirituality, personal development, organizational development and leadership into accessible, transformative strategies that enable you to balance ambition with appreciation. You will leave this workshop with concrete, personalized strategies to take care of others while also taking care of yourself and the people you love.
