Photo by B a m s h a dI really believe that each of us holds the success of our nonprofit careers in our own hands. Yet most of us are always trying to figure out how to do it all. Last month, I facilitated a session at the AFP/DMAW Bridge Conference about achieving work/life balance and becoming a better leader as a fundraising professional. The participants loved the main component of the session, which was to develop a personal mission statement. (Thanks to Gabriela Cadena for reviving this idea for me!) I have been writing and rewriting my own personal mission statement for many months now, and it was great to see how the exercise opened up new possibilities for those nonprofit fundraisers. We are always balancing demands on our time – why sleep when we could be raising one more dollar? So this week, I want to share with you the exercise we did in my session, as well as provide some other posts and ideas around living our best lives while doing good in our communities. Stay tuned! I think we’re going to learn a lot together this week.
