Instructions
This 90-minutes long session can be delivered to groups at workplaces where the culture of wellbeing could be promoted.
The ways of working and conducting our personal lives contribute to our feeling of being overworked and overwhelmed. This is all too common in the nonprofit sector and requires a fundamental culture shift toward supporting more sustainable ways of work and an attention to self-care.
This session is based on the book, The Happy Healthy Nonprofit: Strategies for Impact without Burnout.
Who can facilitate it?
Facilitating this session does not require any special certification. As long as you understand the exercise you plan to do and have some basic facilitation skills in place,you should be fine. However, given this exercise may bring up concerns about your organization’s culture that might be difficult to navigate, you might want to bring in an outside facilitator.
