Keynote Address/Master Class—Create More Joy & Results: Workplace Well-Being & Life Balance for Nonprofits
You’re committed to making a difference in your local community through your organization’s programs and services. But the last two years of the pandemic disrupted your professional life, increased demands on your home life and blurred lines between working at home and living at work.
The disruption caused by the pandemic has created unprecedented stress for many nonprofit staff as they grapple with budget limitations, rising demand for programs and increased workloads. As we rebuild our organizations and workplaces, nonprofits need to prioritize and operationalize work-life balance and workplace well-being.
Beth will present an engaging and interactive keynote address/master class on redefining our work/life balance and creating a culture of well-being and teamwork to sustain us moving forward—bringing more joy (and results) to our work. You will have opportunities to engage with peers but also learn from expert advice. Beth will share practical tips and inspiration to help you be productive during this difficult time and help you succeed as your organization builds back to a new normal.
